Robie House and The Graduate School of Business, Chicago, IL

A panoramic shot of Frank Lloyd Wright\'s Robie House and its neighbor, the University of Chicago\'s Graduate School of Business, designed by Rafael Viñoly Architects and completed in 2004.

Viñoly was particularly concerned with the context of the new school, bordered on one side by one of Frank Lloyd Wright\'s master works, and on the other by the gothic-style Rockefeller Chapel, with its tall carillon.

Viñoly\'s design is centered around a quad enclosed in a greenhouse, the Winter Garden, who\'s vertical thrust follows the proportions of the lancet windows of the chapel. The roof structure is a quadripartite, pointed vault, built with tubular steel members that also reflects gothic style.

To bring the building down in scale and to let Frank Lloyd Wright\'s work breathe, Viñoly set back each floor, reducing the perceived mass of the building from streetâ€"level, and reflecting the residential building across the street.

This is the back side of my new business cards. The image was originally built from a screenshot (inside of my contacts) but I retouched everything for a higher quality print.

I bought a set of business cards for the characters of Star Trek (The Original Series) in the 1980\'s at a Sci-Fi Convention. UnfortunatelyI don\'t know who the original manufacturer is or how to get more. I found them today whilst digging for some old photos. Best viewed in the Large Version.
