Chances for architectural greatness are rare. When they come around, we best grab them. Such is the opportunity Chicago has before it with one of the five plans for a new global terminal at O’Hare International Airport. — Chicago Tribune
Chicago Tribune architecture critic, Blair Kamin, comes out in clear support of the Norman Foster-led finalist entry to the $8.5B Chicago O’Hare 21 Terminal Expansion competition: "That plan, from a team led by London-based Foster + Partners architects, promises to be everything an airport should be: a precisely-honed machine for moving people and baggage; easy to get around intuitively; and an enthralling gateway to its city." Foster's joint venture team also includes Chicago-based architects Epstein and Moreno.
The other four finalist teams, announced last November, are Fentress-EXP-Brook-Garza Joint Venture Partners, Santiago Calatrava LLC, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), and Studio ORD Joint Venture Partners.

Is the polar vortex over? Lol.
It would be perfect if it came in rainbow colors
In the Midwest we have choices of colors: grey, light grey, dark Grey and white. It was a scandal when someone painted a building red in Chicago. but color would be nice.
I remember the 60s-80s being more colorful. Houses were yellow, red, pink and blue.
Those colours were just the result of your personal Chem(ical) Ex(periments) ;-)
