Visited on a cold Tuesday morning with maybe four other people there. That's the way to do it if you can.

Reminded me of the kind of buildings that made me want to study architecture in the first place.
Made me slow down without trying to.
Honestly stunning.

I came expecting one thing and got something completely different, in a way that felt like a gift.
Honestly more moving than I expected.

Climb to the top if you can. Worth it.
Reminds you what restraint can do.
Just go.
Generous to the city around it.

I've seen this building in magazines my entire career and I still wasn't prepared for it.
Patina is doing real work here.
Spent the train ride home trying to articulate what I felt and I still can't quite name it.
Felt smaller than the photos suggest, which I appreciated.
