So Mayor Daley was travelling around the country and the world and he saw all these riverwalks and he said: I've got a river; let's clean it up and I want a river walk. So 20 years later; it's fabulous.
This building is an example of Post Modernism. Because it is no longer the stark Modernism. There is color in the glass and see the reflections of other buildings.
I believe, don't quote me, the pink building in the center could be called a Modernist building. See how stark it is. Chicago architecture is very influence by Mies Van der Rohe who famously stated: less is more.
They are working on cleaning up the river. Everyone wants to live along the river now.
