This is ninety nine percent, invisible, I'm roman Mars is next. If you honest, and out as a skyscraper in Chicago you ve got your work cut out for you. I'm stood at this corner a zillion billion times and never looked up with this. There's the Hancock building. There's the Sears tower the will is telling yeah, I'm not gonna go

and then there's my friend in wisely favour building in the south loop. A couple days ago I was at a cultural centre and it's like a map of Chicago Architectural landmarks. I mean it's zillions of buildings, houses, everything this buildings, not on it, even if a building design by a prominent architect by this guy Harry Reese, who made the Dc Metro he's a big deal. Even if that building has only three sides is like a triangle from above, like a girl, cheese sandwich cut in half diagonally and has these are regularly place long vertical windows. Let's just like a punch card, I scanned drop it still hard to stand out as a skyscraper in Chicago. I remember the first time I noticed there What is that building someone? There was like. Oh, it's a jail.

My name is Jack, hard trade. I was the project manager Campbell Correctional Centre, which most people know as the Metropolitan Correctional son or IMS easy. It's a federal did facilities? Were you stay when you're waiting to go up on trial in the federal court has just like two blocks away when it was Nobody, much like the idea of a federal jail, downtown, a mare dispelling built right across the street from a club. Called the Union League Club, which is one of the kind of fancy elite. Clubs in the city and people are like. We don't worry prisoners. You know mooning us from the of the jail and it doesn't seem like it's gonna, be really good for proper values? So there was a lawsuit, actually declared legal misfortune. They had to bring the student federal court to the only people who are gonna hear the suit the only people in capital, one thing built their federal judges and I take it, took them about twelve minutes to

kicked out of court. It was impossible to get a judge that wasn't in favour of the architects in here he wishes group were tackled by the prospect as well get hurt, baby workin, the building said everybody in the office figure. You had a certain number of unindicted criminals in the city and you had something got caught the m c c users: people haven't you have got caught and because the architects took it seriously that the inmates were innocent until proven guilty, they thought let's make. This is nice, as we can somebody. I look at this problem. How do you make a really small space cosy Harry sort of view this from the standpoint of the accommodation sailboats. Furniture was are built in so you could really do pretty nice furniture built in hardwood furniture had he's really clean lines. The bed is a desk seen this picture. To really you know, it's nice

We build roads to scale in our office and my children used to come down and take naps. They loved interior space. It was in a kind of intimate, pleasant, cozy and those narrow slit windows. I mentioned earlier there Therefore, the ceiling Windows Lenin as much light as possible, but there also built just narrow enough at five inches so that they were within the federal guidelines of the time. Do not need bars, ass, really, nice. It's not a. I saw an interview very recently said that what he had my was like a hotel. Well, we were doing a hotel at the same time, and then this was better than the hotel. You know, as far as the building furniture and all of that show me the hotel.

Porters. Tenacity like you wouldn't believe, but he just couldn't get the war. To let him into the embassy to see if all these beautiful harry, wheeze, interiors and designs were still intact. So I called around thinking like who gets inside these places, and I ended up talking to a guiding Phil Kerrigan reassured into the facility and talk to read the votes of the detainees. There would be a gas that debt, the description or would it be wanna go over it.

Cut your throat. That is not the case. Filled arrogant has been going to the embassy for over ten years. He has Canada designated volunteer for the empty see and he goes into disguise. You don't have anybody else to visit them. She sees not gotta, stop it's it's very drab, God, metal, gray out the physical physical facility is nothing too were to show off the cells dark to describe this being really nice. Stalin's kind of hard work built in furniture, for instance, it got a buckshot deal, two tier structures, gold and you have sunlight coming in low the widows, a jubilee frosted doesn't love. Somebody took their places.

Old stuff me. I've got some pages that none of them have been four beautification at the time they interact with Robert Bergmann, who wrote a book about hearings. He was pretty bummed out there's something about this seems kind of sad to me. You know Harry wheezes, brilliant architect, and this seems like it's one of his signature projects. His conception is non what exists through, but you know that their bare hurried Billy's going down all the country, and that is true of almost all arguments- labourers up with a minor matter. The inside of a basic, Never meant to be public change, it is, after all, a hotel. Even if the wooden had let down into the empty seats. It wasn't the embassy that he wanted to see for that matter. It wasn't the aims You see that Harry we wanted either
