Set atop the Obama Presidential Center, this lookout pairs sweeping South Side views with Idris Khan's ceiling mural.
Description
Perched 180 feet up, the room opens to views taking in Lake Michigan, Jackson Park, the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry, and the University of Chicago. Within the space, undulating wooden walls frame an inverted-pyramid ceiling where Idris Khan's mural incorporates layered text from President Obama’s 2015 speech, while an adjoining enclave displays art installations by Jenny Holzer and Carrie Mae Weems.
