Chicago's Architectural Revival

WBEZ Reporter Lynette Kalsnes revisits the 1980s and 90s—when architecture was thought to be dead in Chicago—in contrast to the emerging era of great buildings and public art like Cloud Gate, Aqua and the new face of the Spertus. How will emerging technology, population density and environmental concerns transform this movement? And what prohibits, or fosters, such new works?
Eight Forty-Eight airs on WBEZ-FM 91.5 at 9:00 a.m.
This All Things Considered segment airs at 5:50 p.m.
