RedBall Meets Rem
If you haven’t ventured south to Rem Koolhaus’ McCormick Tribune Campus Center at IIT, do it. And if that first statement applies to you then you obviously missed the spectacular RedBall installation so let’s shed a little light on that right now, shall we? Talk about an incredible architectural setting for a RedBall site specific engagement! In this instance it was lodged below the tip of a 530 ft. long stainless steel tube, which was built enveloping the Green Line and resting atop a structure of metal and glass and apparently RedBall. It was certainly a sight to see, even if just for a day.
Those to encounter it consisted of faculty, students and families as well as many an architectural bus tour, not to mention the faithful followers that move from site to site right behind the RedBall personalizing the phenomenon. It is amazing how many different kinds of luscious red objects show up on the RedBall site. And since the weather was absolutely idyllic, activities such as picnics, Frisbee, volleyball and full contact chess were all definitely in order. Whatever the occasion, wherever the location, a little RedBall goes a long way.
