Lego Architecture 21033 Chicago (Чикаго) [10/100] Big red

This simple, rectangular International Style structure was

completed in 1973 and is famous for its eye-catching red

color. The 600 ft. (183 m) tall building is also renowned for

using its lights and windows to display messages during

festive and sporting events. A computer program is used to

calculate which windows need to be activated to create the

proper message.

Big Red

Completed in 1970, the distinctive 100-story John Hancock

Center reaches 1,127 ft. (343.5 m) into the city skyline. Named

after an insurance company and original tenant, the tower

is known locally in Chicago as “Big John”. A band of white

lights adorn the top of the building and are visible throughout

Chicago at night. The color of these lights changes to mark

diﬀerent holidays such as Christmas (red & green), Valentine’s

Day (red & white) and St Patrick’s Day (green).
