The architecture of Minneapolis


Starting with Philip Johnson's acclaimed IDS Tower in 1972 (which is still, perhaps, one of the best looking skyscrapers in the country) Minneapolis has seen architecture play an increasingly important role in the fabric of the city...

John Comazzi, a University of Minnesota Architecture professor, guides us around these Minneapolis landmarks, revealing some of the more interesting architectural details, facts and marvels. We start at the Walker Art Center's new addition by Herzog & de Meuron and conclude, fittingly, backstage at the new Guthrie Theatre building..."
As a kid I walked across those skyway bridges, and last summer I visited the new Guthrie and stepped out on that "endless bridge" which juts out over the riverfront.  It really is magnificent.

A thank-you to Anything and Everything for discovering and posting this.
