Kurisu II

Last month I posted on a Japanese roof garden by Hoichi Kurisu on top of the Contemporaine in Chicago. A couple of days ago I noticed, as I looked from the Brown Line, that the extent of the garden is much bigger than the published images indicate.

The images in the link above show the northeast corner of the rooftop, a tiny section compared to the southern stretch visible in these two images.

The impressive scene is heightened by the transparency of the glass-infill guardrails.
