Typo: the Cummins building is 301 E. Market, not 251 N. Illinois.
Thank you for pointing out that mistake. We have fixed it!
At $95m, the Cummins DBU HQ is def the most expensive for an office building.
I believe John M. Johansen collaborated with Evans Woollen on Clowes Hall.
Some have said he was the lead designer.
Thank God they didn’t list the Minton-Capehart Federal building. I dislike brutalism in the 1st place and that thing drives me nuts. I wish some great architect would dream up a true remodeling that would make it into something worth looking at.
Great list! The pavilion at the Art & Nature Park truly is Indianapolis’ most beautiful building. It’s a gem. Also, the Cummins new downtown headquarters is without a doubt the best new commercial building in Indy.
I’m very thankful that the brutalist monstrosity that is the Federal Building didn’t make the list.
The Barton Tower in downtown Indy, formerly a Brutalist masterpiece surrounded by green space, could have been a contender. But the city gave away the green space around it to a developer, and Ratio Architects designed an atrocity called Millikan on Mass, and the century’s greatest crime against Indy architecture (so far) is now wrapped around a once-grand building. It’s OK, though, since the only folks affected are “those people” in the low-income housing, which now sits in a dark canyon.
Brutalism aside, if you asked a different group of architects, I am certain that you would get a much different list of 10 buildings. Some of the great commercial buildings of the downtown area were definitely missed in favor of these stand alone structures.
Wondrous structures are nice. Yet architecture should more carefully consider site and area context, i.e. “Design with Nature”, and push back against clients” profit-seeking over-reach, especially in city-designated Environmentally Sensitive Areas where, per a recent DMD map, significant development encroachment is evident. Recent example is in Broad RIpple where the MDC voted approval for 8 condos crammed onto the small White River-fronting site and encroaching into the ordinance’s requirements for the Stream Protection Corridor. Adding insult to injury, the MDC chairman actually mocked the expressed concern from another Commissioner about the desirability of holding the line on compliance with the ordinance. This was also a poor way to implement the White River Vision Plan, if we’re actually serious about preserving our remaining natural heritage along the corridor and enhancing livability.
No Scottish Rite Cathedral? This list is hogwash…
