2018 Northwestern Photowalk Recap

This past June, we led our first Photography Unfolded photowalk at Northwestern University, in Evanston, just north of Chicago. The campus is gorgeous, on Lake Michigan and with some stunning architecture, from brutalism to modernism. Here are some of our images from the Northwestern Photowalk.

We met in the morning with a group of 8 people. The weather was great, if only a bit hot. Our first stop was the Segals Visitors Center (design by Perkins+Will).  The west side of the building has a glass facade and houses the visitors center. The curved facade and the pillars are great compositional tools. Northwestern Segal Visitors Center - Evanston, ILThen we went around the building, to the parking garage side facing the lake. The architects designed a sail-like installation to make the parking look better. It’s great for abstracts!

We walked along the lake to the Kellogg Global Hub (by KPMB Architects). There’s a lot to photograph on that building, including the reflections, the fins, the contrast between wood and glass, and much more! We spent a lot of time there!Northwestern Kellogg Global Hub - Evanston, IL Our last stop was the University Library (Skidmore, Owings and Merrill) and its brutalist architecture. The concrete has different textures that work well with a harsh lighting. Northwestern University Library - Evanston, IL Our group had a great time at Northwestern. We’re planning on doing more photowalks in the future, so stay tuned!
