frank gehry + chicago.

after a great reunion weekend in chicago, on sunday, nick + i stopped by the awe-inspiring Frank Gehry designed millennium Park. We also strolled michigan avenue and snuck in some deep dish pizza (even though I was gunning for Sushi Samba).

excerpt taken from the millennium Park website: Frank Gehry, winner of the National Medal of Art, applied his signature style to this revolutionary outdoor concert venue. The Pavilion stands 120-feet high, with a billowing headdress of brushed stainless steel ribbons that frame the stage opening and connect to an overhead trellis of crisscross steel pipes. The trellis supports the sound system, which spans the 4,000 fixed seats and the Great Lawn, which accommodates an additional 7,000 people.
