Professor of Interior Design Jon Otis wrote about an eight-day trip he took with his students to Chicago to explore the city’s art and design for officeinsight. “Spatial intimacy, it turns out, is just the ghost idea felt through the body instead of remembered through the mind. The downtown walking tour with my students ran on that same current — the story of the skyscraper as a form, told alongside Mies’s own career, the two narratives braided together as we moved block to block. It’s a fascinating tour led by the incredibly well informed Larry Simon. The history we see and experience is filled with many stories that are the backbone of our built narrative in America.”
