Took my sketchbook expecting to draw the elevations. Ended up drawing the way light hit the floor instead.

Three hours in and I still hadn't done a full lap. There's that much to look at.
The way it sits on the site is the real achievement.
Brought my mom who has zero interest in architecture and she said this is nice and meant it.
I walked out wanting to redesign my apartment, then realized that wasn't the lesson at all.
Best architecture I've seen this year.
Brought my sketchbook. Glad I did.
A reminder that the section is where buildings actually happen, not the plan.
Visited on a cold Tuesday morning with maybe four other people there. That's the way to do it if you can.
The handrails are perfect, which sounds ridiculous but you'll see.
Steel exposed exactly where it should be.
Made me want to learn more about the architect.
There's a moment about two-thirds of the way through where the section opens up and you realize what the architect has been setting up the whole time.
The interior surprised me more than the exterior.
