Docomomo Design Award of Excellence Civic, 1st Place
A Civic/Institutional Design Award of Excellence is given for the restoration of the Chicago Federal Plaza United States Post Office, part of the Chicago Federal Center designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and completed in 1974, five years after his death. The complex epitomizes Miesian Modernism and the “less is more” philosophy. Restoring an iconic design for which the defining characteristic is its minimalism can present an array of challenges. The design team took the smart and correct approach to focus on and get right the most important details, specifically the historic paint color (where previous maintenance campaigns had selected shiny black paint, their research and analysis revealed that a “thundercloud gray” matte was a closer match to Mies’ original vision). They also addressed protective coatings and repair and reconstruction of the original steel framing and mullions.
