The Humana Building Collection: The Cathedral of Postmodernism

It is widely considered the finest skyscraper Michael Graves ever designed.  

The Humana Building (1985) in Louisville, Kentucky, is a masterpiece of American architecture. While other buildings of the era were made of painted concrete, the Humana was built from luxurious pink granite and gold leaf, proving that Postmodernism could be grand, serious, and timeless.  

Famous for its massive open-air "porch" on the 25th floor, its waterfall fountain, and its striking synthesis of Art Deco and Pop Art, it redefined the Louisville skyline. Time Magazine even listed it as one of the best buildings of the 1980s.  

Whether you are a local proud of the "River City," a student of Michael Graves' work, or a lover of bold 80s geometry, this collection celebrates the building that proved the glass box was dead.
