Interesting drywall feature
Hey all, I'm not a drywall pro, but I thought this was pretty cool. The framing was insane. This is the lobby feature at the Spertus Museum for Jewish Studies in Chicago. It's about 25 feet tall and maybe 30 wide:

From the first floor looking up, and the next is 3rd floor looking down:

Anyway, thought you'd enjoy!

I bet somebody was cussing the architect while scratching their head trying to figure out how to get up and in there to finish that. I wonder how much of that was done in the moonlight hours?
