6 t m c » p u l s e | s e p t e m b e r 2 0 1 9 A D G T he Texas Medical Center is known around the world for its patient care, education and research—but it's also a city in and of itself. Every day, thousands of employees, patients and visitors walk past unforgettable landmarks and striking architecture. With the approach of our 75th anni- versary in 2020, we put together a list of some of the most photographed places here in the world's largest medical city, but it is by no means complete. We encourage you to share your favorite places and moments in the TMC on social media, and be sure to tag us using #TMCsnapshots. The TMC's Most Instagrammable A JAMES TURRELL'S "TWILIGHT EPIPHANY" SKYSPACE Suzanne Deal Booth Centennial Pavilion, West Quadrangle, Rice University Campus "Twilight Epiphany" is the 73rd in a worldwide series of light-filled architec- tural spaces created by the famous artist. At sunrise and again at sunset, LED lights cast against the Skyspace slowly change colors, complementing the sky's natural transformation. B THIRD COAST RESTAURANT John P. McGovern TMC Commons, 6550 Bertner Ave., 6th floor Whether you're grabbing a quick break- fast before clinic, enjoying a lunch meeting or sneaking in a happy hour with colleagues, the upscale restaurant run by executive chef Jon Buchanan offers plenty of photo-worthy dishes and drinks, including blueberry buttermilk pancakes. C TEXAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL SIGNAGE 6621 Fannin St. Reminiscent of a whimsical storybook, the colorful, halo-lit, painted aluminum letters placed among flowerbeds also serve as a wayfinding tool that spells out T-E-X-A-S C-H-I-L-D-R-E-N-'S H-O-S-P-I-T-A-L. D WORTHAM PARK Corner of Holcombe Boulevard and Main Street Constructed by John Burgee Architects in 1991, the row of towering waterfall foun- tains is a perfect backdrop for portraits or quiet moments of reflection. E LABOR AND DELIVERY UNITS Multiple hospitals in the TMC Welcoming a baby into the world is often described as one of the best days of a parent's life, so it's no wonder that new- born photos taken during those very first moments are shared far and wide.
