To be honest with you I really don't care. I would never step foot in a Barney's anyway.

Yeah, but Chicagoans have to look at it. It looks like something out of Tel Aviv or Yad vahem.

There are far worse examples of crap architecture and facade design than this.

It is not a good building, no. But it's not the abstract window composition that ruins it.

Wasn't Barneys in bankruptcy not too long ago? So, how then do the new owners think a bigger store is needed now? I just don't get it. (PS it does look like a holocaust museum)

You want ugly, look at the mistake by the lake, the addition to Soldier Field. Looks like a spaceship landed on the damn thing. Blech.

Complaining about the Soldier Field rennovation is so 2003.

Looks good. The more glass we have in this city the better.
