Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts Chicago Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects | Partners with Holabird & Root

摘要

The New York-based partnership of Tod Williams, FAIA, and Billie Tsien, AIA, recently snagged the coveted commission for the Barack Obama Presidential Library in Chicago, and one need not look far for a prelude to that new work. The firm's Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts, on the University of Chicago campus, a stone's throw from the site of the future library, is a 184,ooo-square-foot cultural facility for the school's visual arts, film, music, and theater programs that combines an auditorium, film production studios, an eatery, galleries, offices, and more, into a complex that's divided between a warehouse-ish low-rise and a looming, half-glass and half-masonry tower.
