This photo of the IDS tower is taken from the furthest point you can go south on the skyways. It is a bridge to the parking ramp from the Convention Center, around 13th and Marquette. I like the contrast between brick/ivy and mirrored curtain wall. But I have to say, this modernist architecture is not really memorable, is it? Fortunately the fashion has swung away from such severe surfaces as the IDS represents. Not that we will see 50 story brick buildings any time soon.
