Layout for Oedipus Rem, Lynn Becker's text on Rem Koolhaas designed IIT McCormick Tribune Campus Center

Layout for Oedipus Rem, Lynn Becker's text on Rem Koolhaas designed IIT McCormick Tribune Campus Center

 “It's crucial to Koolhaas's concept

 of a wall of ‘Miesian interference’ that wraps around the facade and faces

off against Crown Hall. The black Mies used to paint his steel reflects the qualities of his buildings -elegant, strong, and protecting, but also mysterious and forbidding. Orange

to the sky but completely sealed off from the rest of the center.”

Mies is apparent the moment you walk in the door, because Mies is

 in the door -an 18 foot high portrait

of him is sandwiched between the panes of glass, so that you walk into the building through his head.”
