This lovely building is a prison.

Yes, literally, a prison, in the middle of downtown Chicago. 

Possibly the most beautiful correctional facility ever built.

Casa da Musica
Porto, Portugal

I’ve wanted to visit this place for so long, so I was excited to finally see (and hear, and experience) it up close.  We even saw a free symphony about the Americas!  

Casa da Musica is a great combination of many things I appreciate: modern architecture, urban design, music, and art.
