Regenstein Library at the University of Chicago by Walter Netsch
August 28th, 2011 | by Simon |Not as hard-core as the UIC buildings I’ve covered in the past (also here, here and here), the Regenstein Library’s main architectural moves are the concrete elevation and the two staircases – the main one serving all floors and another serving the second and third floor reading rooms. Unusually for Netsch, the building sports quite a few windows, though considering the depth of the plan, they’re not exactly a dominant feature.
I want to thank the library staff for allowing me to peek in without undue bureaucratic obstacles (it is generally a limited-access facility).

you know, that vertical texture may look like netsch’s idea, but I’m pretty sure it was literally hand-carved by uofc grad students
