You guys remember that award winner a few years ago in Chicago, the yellow and blue swoopy building, for which they had ‘shopped out the HVAC units on the roof for their submission? It led to a pretty intense conversation about what is appropriate to change in photographs for submissions for awards? I drove by it last Friday and yeah, those mechanical units really mess up the view!
Donna, link to project? Curious about how egregious this is.
