Stranger Than Fiction

RoedGroed

It keeps popping up in my head...Could someone help me identify the architecture in this film?
There's the friend's flat and Dustin's office that comes to mind. And the pool/gym...Some of it looks like Kahn to me, but I'm most likely wrong. Thanks.

I should do my own research a bit better (too desperate to strike up another Archinect conversation perhaps...)

it was shot in Chicago. I think this is the apartment complex featured in an exterior shot.

Some locations from IMDB

Some production notes

Not a great film really...Just enjoyed the use of architecture

I think the pool is on the IIT campus, there's also a featurette on the DVD about the locations.

The movie was filmed in Chicago and the UIC campus was used. Walter Netsch designed the original buildings on campus.
