Rec:ornmended to the City Council on April I, 1987. CITY OF CHICAGO Richard M. Daley, Mayor Department of Planning and Development J.F. Boyle, Jr., Commissioner 333 NORTH MICIDGAN BUILDING 333 N. Michigan Ave. (1928; Holabird & Roche/Holabird & Root) The 333 NORTH MICHIGAN BUILDING is one of the city's most outstanding Art Deco-style skyscrapers. It is one of four buildings surrounding the Michigan A venue Bridge that defines one of the city' s-and nation' s-finest urban spaces. The building's base is sheathed in polished granite, in shades of black and purple. Its upper stories, which are set back in dramatic fashion to correspond to the city's 1923 zoning ordinance, are clad in buff-colored limestone and dark terra cotta. The building's prominence is heightened by its unique site. Due to the jog of Michigan Avenue at the bridge, the building is visible the length of North Michigan Avenue, appearing to be located in the center of the street. ABOVE: The 333 North Michigan Building was one of the first skyscrapers to take advantage of the city's 1923 zoning ordinance, which encouraged the construction of buildings with setback towers. This photograph was taken from the cupola of the London Guarantee Building. COVER: A 1933 illustration, looking south on Michigan Avenue.

Using locational data from Social Media platforms platforms, including Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, along with participatory field visits and combining insights from architecture and urban design literature, this study reveals popular socio-spatial clusters in the City of Chicago. Locational data of photographs were visualized by using Geographic Information Systems and helped in producing heat maps that showed the spatial distribution of posted photographs. Geo-intensity of photographs illustrated areas that are most popularly visited in the city. The study’s results indicate that the city’s skyscrapers along open spaces are major elements of image formation. Findings also elucidate that Social Media plays an important role in promoting places; and thereby, sustaining a greater interest and stream of visitors. Consequently, planners should tap into public’s digital engagement in city places to improve tourism and economy. Keywords: Social media, Iconic socio-spatial clusters, Popular places, Skyscrapers 1. Introduction 1.1. Sustainability: A Theoretical Framework The concept of sustainability continues to be of para- mount importance to our cities (Godschalk & Rouse, 2015). Planners, architects, economists, environmentalists, and politicians continue to use the term in their conver- sations and writings.

This doubles the 14 million square feet represented by the program’s founding 14 participants. The Commercial Buildings Initiative was launched on June 5 by Mayor Emanuel and U.S. Secretary of Energy Dr. Steven Chu. “This expansion of Retrofit Chicago’s Commercial Buildings Initiative highlights the leadership of commercial building owners, managers, and tenants in making Chicago a center of building efficiency and a place where companies are maximizing their ability to compete,” said Mayor Emanuel. “These participants understand that in the modern economic environment, it is critical to operate at maximum efficiency. The commitments that have been made by these 32 organizations will create jobs and foster growth throughout Chicago’s economy, while improving our environment as well.” Energy efficiency and clean energy comprise one of seven focus areas outlined in Sustainable Chicago 2015, a three-year roadmap to drive sustainability through city operations, in residents’ day-to-day lives, and across our economy. The Commercial Buildings Initiative is one component of Retrofit Chicago – the City’s cross-sector effort to accelerate energy efficiency in buildings – which also includes energy efficiency efforts in municipal and residential buildings.

  • Sculpture As Texture: Edgar Miller’S Reliefs
    Sculpture as Texture: Edgar Miller’s Reliefs Marin R. Sullivan Examining the decades-long career of Edgar Miller holistically is to confront an inimitable image-maker, a supremely talented artist who worked in a staggeringly diverse range of mediums, materials, and influences. Though he often included graphic, geometric elements in his projects, Miller eschewed abstraction for abstraction’s sake, and the majority of his images, in both two- and three-dimensions, express a fantastical world inhabited by his own unique, highly stylized flora, fauna, and human figures. Thus, to speak of Edgar Miller as a sculptor feels almost disingenuous, just as it would to speak of him simply as a designer, a painter or an architect. His creative practice was so distinct, materially sophisticated, and complex that to single out one aspect or medium seems to miss the point entirely. Upon closer examination however, Miller’s extensive and sometimes eccentric body of work reveals a tremendous mastery of what might be thought of as sculptural, almost every facet of which invites further scholarly study. So much in his processes of making across his entire oeuvre involved carving, molding, assembling—the very mechanics that define the medium of sculpture Fig.1. In terms of actual artistic output, and on purely categorical grounds, many of the projects he completed and objects he created can be classified as sculpture, whether realized in carved relief or as free-standing objects. 1 Fig. 1 Edgar Miller carving a bench. Photo: EML He designed and made numerous smaller-scaled animal statues and figurines over the course of his career Fig.2.
