Lake Shore Drive - Chicago
I wanted to have a good look at these Lake Shore Drive apartments. They were designed by architect Mies van der Rohe in 1948 but I found myself on the wrong side of road with no possibility to get across. I rarely sketch particular works of architecture. I just want to walk around and enjoy them, study the details and absorb their spatial qualities. In this instance I couldn't do that but did see an opportunity for a sketch that showed these seminal modernist buildings in the real urban context.
