Prentice Women's Hospital Building

The Prentice Women's Hospital and Maternity Center was a hospital on the Downtown Chicago campus of Northwestern University in the Streeterville district of Chicago's Near North Side.
==Design==
The brutalist design by architect Bertrand Goldberg featured a 9-story concrete quatrefoil tower with oval windows cantilevered over a rectangular 5-story podium.
The tower was used as a maternity center, with nursing stations located in the central core and patient wards in the four lobes—a layout which minimized distances between nurse and patient.〔Goldberg, Geoffrey (2012-09-05) ''Engineering News Record'' online. Retrieved 2012-09-09.〕
Aside from its unique shape, which structural engineer William F. Baker calls "the only example of its type anywhere in the world",〔 the complex curvilinear structure made construction history with its use of early computer-aided design techniques. Software engineers at Bertrand Goldberg & Associates adapted software used by the aeronautical industry to create a 3D mapping technique which sped up the design by months.〔
