Zaha Hadid's "Burnham Pavilion" in Chicago
From ArtWeLove.com:
It has been a hundred years since the American urban planner Daniel Burnham created his renowned Plan of Chicago, a massive civic blueprint that has shaped the way the city has grown into the magnificent collection of streetscapes, stunning lakefront spaces, and suburban forest preserves it is today. As part of a centennial celebration of Burnham's plan, Pritzker Prize-winning architect Zaha Hadid has designed a surreal biomorphic "Burnham Pavilion" for...--the forward-looking home to a Frank Gehry bandshell and Anish Kapoor's Cloud Gate--as a tribute to the urban visionary.
