Roosevelt Collection Water Feature in Chicago, Illinois - Crystal Fountains
Located in Chicago's prestigious South Loop, The Roosevelt Collection is a newly renovated mixed-use development that combines the latest in residential and retail environments. To further attract patrons into the revamped development, the outdoor entryway and courtyard were reshaped into a stylish plaza. The meticulously landscaped space now includes a koi pond, several cafes, a playground, and a central water feature. The elegant fountain contains over 25 of Crystal's LED lights, which sync up with the additional lighting designed into the space. The fountain's color is synchronized with the architectural lighting of the space, and will change frequently to reflect the surrounding seasons, celebrations, or events at Roosevelt.

Family Work and Play trip to Chicago Illinois. Millennium Park, Cloud Gate, Shedd Aquarium and more!
Our family took a week-long trip to Chicago, Illinois from October 21-28, 2018. This wasn't a dedicated vacation trip... it hardly ever is. It was a combination of work and play. Makaila is an accounting manager and her company paid to send her to Chicago to attend a week-long seminar to continue her education and knowledge in her field. Makaila and I decided it would be great if I and London could tag along. Unfortunately, Tristen had school that week so he could not join us.
While Makaila was in the seminar, London and I would walk around downtown Chicago. As soon as Makaila's seminar ended each day, we would go out and see as much as we could together. Wednesday was the one day that Makaila did not have to attend her seminar. We planned to spend the whole day going around. What we didn't plan is London and Makaila getting sick (we think food poisoning) so that threw things off a bit.
During the week we were still able to visit and view some of the great parts of Chicago including: Shedd Aquarium, 360 Chicago, Millennium Park, Cloud Gate aka The Bean, Maggie Daley Park, The Magnificent Mile, Grant Park, Chicago Riverwalk, Chicago Water Tower, Seneca Playground Park, and Chicago Lakefront Trail.
We have family that lives in Valparaiso, Indiana (about 1.2 hours from Chicago) so they came to pick us up from the airport and take us to our hotel. We stayed and spent time with them at the end of our trip for the weekend.

With over 2.8 million residents, it is the most populous city in the Midwestern United States and the third most populous city in the USA. Its metropolitan area, commonly named Chicagoland, is the 26th most populous[3] in the world, home to an estimated 9.7 million people spread across the U.S. states of Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana.[4][5] Chicago is the county seat of Cook County. Chicago was founded in 1833, near a portage between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River watershed.[6] Today, the city retains its status as a major hub, both for industry and infrastructure, with O'Hare International Airport being the second busiest airport in the world. In 2008, the city hosted 45.6 million domestic and overseas visitors.[7] As of 2010, Chicago's metropolitan area has the 4th largest Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of all metropolitan areas in the world. The city is a center for business and finance and is listed as one of the world's top ten Global Financial Centers. The World Cities Study Group at Loughborough University rated Chicago as an alpha world city.[9] In a 2010 survey collaboration between Foreign Policy and A.T Kearney ranking cities, Chicago ranked 6th just after Paris and Hong Kong and just above Los Angeles and Singapore.[8] The ranking assesses five dimensions: value of capital markets, diversity of human capital, international information resources, international cultural resources, and political influence. Chicago is a stronghold of the Democratic Party and has been home to many influential politicians, including the current President of the United States, Barack Obama. The city's notoriety expressed in popular culture is found in novels, plays, movies, songs, various types of journals (e.g., sports, entertainment, business, trade, and academic), and the news media. Chicago has numerous nicknames, which reflect the impressions and opinions about historical and contemporary Chicago. The best known include: Chi-town, Windy City, Second City,[footnote 1] and the City of Big Shoulders.[footnote 2] Chicago has also been called the most American of big cities.
Michigan Ave. in Chicago
Walking around Michigan Ave. allows you to see some amazing sites including Grant Wood's American Gothic, the Chicago Times building, the Moose sculpture by John Kearney, legendary Chicago commentator Jack Brickhouse's monument as well as many others not seen in this video.
* I originally uploaded this video with U2's City Of Blinding Lights as background music which really works well with the video, but unfortunitely Youtube deemed the usage unallowable and stripped the video all all audio in true youtube fashion. I'll work on finding a solution to this problem, but in the meantime...ENJOY CHICAGO!!!!

Rethinking Pei: A Centenary Symposium, Panel 2: Spatial and Formal Practices I
Panel 2 Participants:
K. Michael Hays, moderator
Daniel M. Abramson: “Vexing Government Center”
Stuart Leslie: “I. M. Pei's Modern Monastery: the NCAR Mesa Laboratory”
Thomas Leslie: “Brutal Grace: I. M. Pei’s Early Art Centers”
Delin Lai: “Defining the Present Perfect Tense of I. M. Pei’s Space”
A two-part symposium examining the work and life of I. M. Pei from multiple vantage points. Organized by the Harvard GSD with M+, Hong Kong, and the Faculty of Architecture, The University of Hong Kong.
Ieoh Ming Pei is one of the most celebrated yet under-theorized architects of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Although Pei’s six-decade career is mostly identified with his unwavering interest in cultural synthesis and the power of pure geometrical form, his modes of practice demand further investigation of their intertwinement with the multiple historical and discursive moments of modern architecture. The two-day symposium will include panel discussions and scholarly presentations that showcase new research on Pei’s manifold contributions to the built environment. Notable alumni from Pei’s office will discuss the emergence of a new kind of architectural practice in the postwar era. Among the topics to be addressed in the paper sessions are technological innovations with concrete, the glass curtain wall, and structural designs; Pei’s longstanding affinities for China’s landscape and vernacular traditions; his legacy on major urban spaces in Boston and other cities around the world; and the increasingly global and transnational conditions of architectural production that Pei successfully navigated. Organized with M+, the new museum for visual culture being built in Hong Kong, this symposium is part of a yearlong celebration of the 100th birthday of Ieoh Ming (I. M.) Pei MArch ’46. Both I. M. and his wife, Eileen Pei GSD ’44, studied at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, as did their sons Chien Chung (Didi) Pei, AB ’68, MArch ’72, and Li Chung (Sandi) Pei, AB ’72, MArch ’76. Pei was also an assistant professor of architecture at the GSD. In March the GSD held a panel discussion, led by Harry Cobb AB ’47, MArch ’49, which focused on the formative years of I. M. Pei’s career as well as some of his special friendships, influences, and projects.
A second symposium, co-organized by M+ and the Department of Architecture at the University of Hong Kong, will be held in Hong Kong on December 14-15.
These two symposia are made possible with the generous support of the C Foundation.
The End of the Sixties: Kerry James Marshall’s “Mementos”
James Meyer, curator of modern art, National Gallery of Art
In his book The Art of Return: The Sixties and Contemporary Culture, introduced at the National Gallery of Art on September 8, 2019, James Meyer turns to art criticism, theory, memoir, and fiction to examine the fascination with this period and expressions of cultural memories across the globe. He draws on a diverse range of cultural objects that reimagine the “long” 1960s―a revolutionary era stretching from the mid-1950s to the mid-1970s―including reenactments of civil rights, antiwar, and feminist marches; paintings; sculptures; photographs; novels; and films. Many of these works are by artists and writers born during this period who are driven to understand a monumental era that they missed. These cases show us that the past becomes significant only in relation to our present, and our remembered history never perfectly replicates time past. This, Meyer argues, is precisely what makes our contemporary attachment to the past so important: it provides us a critical opportunity to examine our own relationship to history, memory, and nostalgia.
