I was curious what Hyde Park's oldest building is. I came across the database listing all the pre-1940s building in Chicago, including Hyde Park:

https://webapps.cityofchicago.org/la...earch/home.htm

(Choose Hyde Park for the neighborhood.)

As you may know, the oldest house in Hyde Park is 5317 S. Dorchester. (I guess that's also the oldest building in HP?) :

I noticed this morning that all of the curtainwall connector clips are installed on the south facing slab edges at Solstice up to the floors with current pours. Hopefully that means we will be seeing some sloped facade panels very soon.

So excited for this!

The north and southeast sides of Jackson Park are already beautifully enclosed with buildings, but I'm excited to see the west side bulk up a bit with the Obama Library and apartment proposal at 63rd/Blackstone.

Would be interesting to see this proposal on Stony Island come back to life, since so many others around Hyde Park have recently:

^You're reaching waaay back in time to a vision project, but we'll see if the presidential center spurs development.

This is nice but why knock down the charming old school building when they could easily build it right behind it on the vacant lot just south of it on Dorchester?

Interesting. I assumed they would reuse the existing building...
Did they say how many keys? Architect?

University updates design of Rubenstein Forum
Quote:

May 10, 2017
The University of Chicago has updated the architectural design for the David M. Rubenstein Forum by New York-based firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro.

The building, which will be a center of intellectual exchange, scholarly collaboration and special events, will provide the University with much needed meeting spaces for workshops, symposia and lectures, among other activities. The building’s location, at the southeast corner of Woodlawn Avenue and 60th Street, affords views of the campus and the Midway Plaisance, the city skyline and Lake Michigan.

As before, the building is composed of a two-story base and an eight-story tower. The exterior has evolved over the last year to become a more uniform composition of zinc and glass, expressing the separate meeting “neighborhoods” that compose the tower. Those “neighborhoods” pair meeting rooms with informal shared spaces, and they can be configured according to users’ needs. The ground floor includes the main lobby and a restaurant, with stairs leading to the building’s largest multipurpose event space, capable of accommodating groups up to 600. Immediately above the base is a 285-seat auditorium. The top floor of the tower features a flat-floor multipurpose space, which can accommodate meetings of 75 and other events.

The Rubenstein Forum is named in honor of University Trustee and alumnus David M. Rubenstein, JD’73, co-founder and co-CEO of the Carlyle Group, in recognition of his ongoing generosity to the University.

Sickkkkk, this looks much cleaner; the Midway mini-skyline is getting so good.

Would be great to see some midrise buildings on the north end of 61st to give it a bit of depth looking south.

As for the hotel, the design is great, but they could save the school and site it directly south of it, creating a kind of mini-Beekman for Hyde Park:
