As we count down the days until Bertrand Goldberg’s former Prentice Women’s Hospital becomes just a memory, we received a very fortunate phone call.
Dr. Robert L Vogelzang, of Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine, has been taking pictures of the Prentice demolition from his office window since it started. With the end near, he used our Tip Line to get in touch, and sent along a couple of dozen photos of the process.
We ran the photos through our Whiz-Bang Machine and it put together a time-lapse of the demolition.
Those of you who like demolitions will enjoy the results. Those who like Bertrand Goldberg’s architecture will be less enthusiastic.
