If you’re a first-time visitor you might just walk past this space. World-renowned Japanese architect Tadao Ando designed the gallery space dedicated to exhibitions of architecture and socially engaged art within a four-story 1929-1930 apartment building that looks much the same as when it was built, and hidden in plain sight in the Lincoln Park neighborhood. But step inside and you find yourself in an atrium that rises thirty-seven feet high and features exposed brick walls, sleek concrete surfaces and a ton of natural light—and that’s just the ground floor.
