There?s no denying the architectural appeal of Pei Cobb Freed & Partners? elegantly sculpted Hyatt Center. Conceived by Henry N. Cobb for the Pritzkers (a family renowned for their international architectural award), the graceful curves of the building?s "lozenge-shaped" floor plan arc along Chicago?s Wacker Drive and Franklin Street.
The shape enhances views from within, while also providing a generous public plaza at street level. With notched ends, the memorable shape stands out among some of Chicago?s beefier, more forgettable high-rises.
The Hyatt Center also features practically floor-to-ceiling glass, accented by linen-textured stainless steel (a reverent nod, perhaps, to Skidmore, Owings & Merrill's nearby Inland Steel Building of 1958).
