Oh my goodness, wait till you see the amazing light captured by Renzo Piano's creation of the Modern Wing for the Art Institute of Chicago. http://www.artic.edu/aic/collections/exhibitions/modernwing/green
Of course being a photographer, the light filling the new space took my breath away. It wraps sensuously around the sculptures, paintings and patrons. The "flying carpet" roof you have heard so much about works with photocells to let the perfect amount of light into the third floor galleries.
The view from the Balcony Cafe! Right through the light raining in through Griffen Court and out to the Aon Building soaring above the Pritzker Pavillion. It has been many years since the Standard Oil Building (now the Aon) looked so majestic and prominent in the city.
I understand it is free admission from May 16-22.
