It was last April when we first announced the “Where in the World is my Rhodia?” segment, and urged you guys to send us your photos. For our first trip, we went to Milwaukee, Wisconsin and admired Santiago Calatrava’s Quadracci Pavilion. We were not able to keep up with the pace since then. So now, we’re very much eager to start the ball rolling again. And we need your HELP! Here’s the deal: Send us your best Rhodia shot at rhodiadrive1@gmail.com and write a short description of the photo. You can also post it on-line, on Flickr. Make sure to alert us so we can include your entry in our line-up. The best shots for the month will receive from RhodiaDrive this:

Last but certainly not the least, the person who can provide us with the location of the photo above, the name of the structure in the background and the architect behind the soaring masterpiece, will also receive a surprise gift from RhodiaDrive. So, as they say in Italian, ciao! But don’t forget to email us!
Again…smiling!
To Diane, you were this close to hitting it. But you were actually right, the Pritzker Pavilion is located at the Millenium Park.
Thanks Heidi for your answer! Please email us your mailing address at rhodiadrive1@gmail.com.
Well, now that I’m more awake I realize you may be referring to the middle background — the Pritzker Pavilion by Frank Gehry. Oops.
This is the Pritzker Pavilion in Chicago, designed by Frank Gehry!
Millennium Park in Chicago, with the Aon Building (formerly Standard Oil) in the background. Wikipedia lists Edward Durell Stone and The Perkins and Will partnership as the architects. The Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois building next to it is being expanded.
