Visual Acoustics: The Modernism of Julius Shulman is a must see documentary film by Eric Bricker.
"Narrated by Dustin Hoffman, VISUAL ACOUSTICS celebrates the life and career of Julius Shulman, the world s greatest architectural photographer, whose images brought modern architecture to the American mainstream. Shulman captured the work of nearly every major modern and progressive architect since the 1930s including Frank Lloyd Wright, Richard Neutra, John Lautner and Frank Gehry. His images epitomized the singular beauty of Southern California s modernist movement and brought its iconic structures to the attention of the general public.

Bertrand Goldberg's Prentice Women's Hospital Could Get Demo'd
Prentice Women’s Hospital
333 E. Superior St., Chicago
"This Bertrand Goldberg-designed hospital has been largely vacant since Northwestern Memorial Hospital relocated to a new structure in 2007. Ownership is expected to revert back to Northwestern University this year, when the last tenant moves out of the building. This concrete clover-leafed structure, which was built in 1975, would then likely be demolished for a new medical research facility. Although Goldberg’s organic architectural designs – such as this one – were widely influential, none of his Chicago works are protected by local landmark designation. This is the second consecutive listing of the hospital on the “Ten Most” list." Blurb was lifted from Landmarks Illinois
