The Humana Building by architect Michael Graves (2001 Gold Medalist) has become an icon of the Postmodern movement, composed as it is of idiosyncratic variations on classical forms. The colorful building is set on an eight-story base of pink granite with deep red granite columns along the first few floors. Time magazine named the building one of the 10 best of the 1980s.
