A truly bizarre addition atop the convention center in Milano. Mario Bellini’s erotic aquatic imagination got the best of him with what looks like the desiccated remains of a whale that had collapsed in the act of major flagrante delecto with a mis-identified paramour. Imagine the budget the selection committee had to sling at Mario’s go-for-broke moment.
can’t quite figure out whether Mario was enthralled with the convention halls architectural voluptuousness or if he was expressing his inner aggression at not getting the gig to design the Center in the first place.

1.  Had a fun time out with the Every Other Sunday drawing group today. We went to the Chicago Cultural Center and focused on The newly restored hall and rotunda, originally designed by Shepley Rutan and Coolidge; the 15.4 million dollar renovation was lead by Gunny Harboe
   WHY: A prime example of superior architectural ornament, the space is loaded with meaning. Additionally, some of the work was restored using photos of the original and creating 3-d printed copies!
   I’ve often preferred to hang in the fabulous South Hall so today I was fired up to give the north hall it’s due.
