The chosen visual direction was inspired by the Bauhuas and graphic design of the 1950’s modernist aesthetic. The visual narrative illustrates how Mies’ design for 860-880 Lakeshore Drive apartments became the foundation Robert H. McCormick’s private residence.

This two minute meme-tastic visual essay explains how a virus such as influenza can become a pandemic, and the practical ways in which we can prevent the spread of infectious diseases. Basically, it’s a viral that we want to go viral about a virus that we hope won't go all viral. Get your head around that one.
