The James R. Thompson Center (originally the State of Illinois Center) is a postmodern-style civic building designed by architect #HelmutJahn, at 100 W. Randolph Street in #Chicago.
Google purchased the building in 2022 and expects to move in 2026 after two years and $280 million of renovations.

Monument with Standing Beast is a sculpture by #JeanDubuffet in front of the #HelmutJahn-designed James R. Thompson Center in the Loop neighborhood of Chicago

This is one of Dubuffet's three monumental sculpture commissions in the United States. It has been taken to represent a standing animal, a tree, a portal and an architectural form. The sculpture is based on Dubuffet's 1960 painting series Hourloupe.
