mid-review

hey guys, just wondering what you think of my design for the commerce building...

i got a little carried away and built a model.

i meant to put up the calvin flag instead of the american one...  i think that will really help.

MCA in March

March 14 is the opening of the Buckminster Fuller exhibition at MCA in Chicago.
On Tuesday March 31 at 6pm this is happening!!
If you like architecture, and you like humanity, you should consider it.
If you don't like the idea of driving to Chicago on a school night then consider carpooling to the exhibition at some point in March/April.
