Fans of steel-and-glass skyscrapers should be interested in the Mies van der Rohe Society, which is not surprisingly connected to IIT, one of the architect's best-known projects. The society offers group tours of the new McCormick Tribune Campus Center and State Street Village. For the more independent, there's also a downloadable (PDF) Green Line architectural tour that runs from Oak Park to Hyde Park.
