Mid-Continental Plaza
Since the early 1970s this hulking internationalist monstrosity has towered over the relics of Michigan Avenue in Chicago. No more art deco cornices, no more moulding and flourish, it’s time for the dreadful corporate monolith, a void of non-aesthetic verticality shooting 49 stories upward. This mixed-use colossus takes up half a city block as a bleak backdrop to the world’s first skyscrapers.
