Most surprisingly, they discovered that the scientific instruments that have long affiliated the couple with the birth of modern chemistry were later additions that ultimately redefined the meaning of the portrait. 📸 Eddie Knox © Oxford Films, 2020⁣⁣

I’m very honored to be featured on the Today Show. I’m even happier that they decided to highlight the good about the city, instead of the bad 💪🏾💯.

This is the most thoughtful piece about art + money that I've read in a while.

Without a doubt one of the most profoundly moving works of architecture I have ever visited. And I have had the very good fortune to visit a lot of amazing places all over the world. Grundtvigs Kirke (“Grundtvig’s Church”), Copenhagen, Peder Vilhelm Jensen Klint, 1921-40.

The Society of Architectural Historians announces the publication of the #SAHDataProject Report, the first in-depth, data-driven study designed to access the health of the field of architectural history in the U.S. ow.ly/OGXP50GPZNx

Just learning the #SAHDataProject final report was published this morning. Congrats Society of Architectural Historians (SAH). Seeing the cover for the first time--looks sharp! Eager to dive in at some point soon. Really hoping this data helps some of you now & improves things for future arch historians, too.

Thrilled to hear Governor JB Pritzker selected a developer that plans to reuse the blg! We have long advocated for preservation of the Helmut Jahn-designed Thompson Center, & we look forward to learning more about the reuse design and assisting the development team wherever possible.
