Reference excerpt

U.S. Bank Building, formerly 190 South LaSalle Street, is a 573 feet (175 m) tall skyscraper in Chicago, Illinois.

History It was completed in 1987 and has 40 floors. Johnson/Burgee Architects designed the building, which is the 57th tallest building in Chicago. From 1988-2016 the lobby of the building featured a tapestry by Helena Hernmarck titled "The 1909 Plan of Chicago" depicting the Civic Center Plaza proposed in the Burnham Plan of Chicago. The tapestry is now in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago. In May 2013, U.S. Bank announced it agreed to increase its leased space in the structure from 66,000 square feet (6,100 m2) to 110,000 square feet (10,000 m2). The terms of the lease also gave the bank naming rights for the building through 2026.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with U.S. Bank Building (Chicago)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what U.S. Bank Building (Chicago) claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In physics, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to U.S. Bank Building (Chicago) before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about U.S. Bank Building (Chicago) ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of U.S. Bank Building (Chicago)

In research: U.S. Bank Building (Chicago) appears in physics research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses U.S. Bank Building (Chicago) in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: U.S. Bank Building (Chicago) is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1987 establishments in Illinois, John Burgee buildings, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certified buildings, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for U.S. Bank Building (Chicago) outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
