A quote from Lynn Becker:

Quote:
In the densely built city, on Block 37, to name one example, or the site of the current Fort Dearborn Post Office at Clark and Grand, Krueck and Sexton's design (for the CMM in Grant Park) might be an interesting failure, an exploration of the idea of a hyperdense city. As an intrusion into a park that is one of the last places of repose and contemplation in the North Loop, in a place that for most of two centuries has been mandated Forever Open, Clear and Free , it is an outrage.
However I'm sure it would make for a good Batman set
