Sculptor Eduardo Chillida, one of the most important artist of the second half of the 20th century, would have turned 100 today. We remember him with this interview with Luis Chillida, son of the artist, about El Peine del Viento in San Sebastian. mascontext.com/issues/public/…

We had hoped for a different outcome and that the adaptive reuse of this civic building had been considered to continue to serve the community of Lombard. @SOM_Design @presfutures @landmarksill @SavingPlaces @Pres_Chicago

@blaservations discusses the fate of Christopher Columbus Memorial and the need to create a path forward for the development of new monuments, like the Chicago Torture Justice Memorial, that can address restorative justice or new perspectives on acknowledging and repairing harm.
