check out the MCA (museum of contemporary art)
Shedd Aquarium is cool/expensive
take a boat tour (if they still do them at this time of year), best way to get a sense of the city layout, they're relatively cheap too

contemporary bldgs:

Contemporaine- Perkins + Will [516 N. Wells]
Thompson Center- Murphy/Jahn [Dearborn & Randolph?] for some reason i'm one of the few people who likes this bldg.
Soldier Field
Skybridge- Perkins + Will [1 North Halsted]
....

If you have see some buildings you really like, you might just rent a car and drive to there.
