Chicagoans know this scene from the color alone. The bright orange beams (technically vermillion colored) that occupy the Federal Plaza downtown are iconic for the city and have been since they were installed in 1974. Some may not know the origins of the work or the inspiration. I found a great blog to help give some background.
