Justice and Law Weekly 301 - Governor James R. Thompson: Part 1
This is a special edition of the Chicago Bar Association's Justice and Law Weekly. After the 9/11 attacks, President George W. Bush established The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, also known as the 9/11 Commission. The 9/11 Commission was asked to prepare a complete account of the circumstances surrounding the Sept. 11 attacks, to review the aftermath of the attacks, and to make recommendations for guarding against future attacks and improving U.S. security.
We are fortunate to have a distinguished member of this Commission as our guest: Former Illinois Governor James R. Thompson. Governor Thompson served as Illinois governor from 1977 to 1991 and remains Illinois' longest serving governor. He is currently the chairman of the law firm, Winston & Strawn. He has also served as the U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Illinois and as an assistant states attorney in Cook County.

Free Form Sculpture & The State Of Illinois Building
“Free Form” is the sculpture that adorns the exterior of the old State of Illinois Building, at 160 N. LaSalle St.. While it may appear to be deceptively small in relation to the scale of the building it is actually two-and-a-half stories high and weighs three tons. The sculpture derives its title from one of the sculptor's Richard Hunt’s central ideas about the nature of abstract art—which is that it is freely formed. The piece is animated by a series of curvilinear forms evocative of an active flame, Freeform, like other of Hunt's other sculptures, seems capable of performing an infinite number of gestures, hinting at endless possibilities.
The building Free Form is attached to is if not a great example of Chicago architcture is one if it's odder buildings. It's like two different buildings in one. The 21 story Michael A. Bilandic Building was constructed in 1920 designed by the Burnham Brothers and called the Burnham Building. It became The State Of Illinois Building in 1946 when it was sold to the state. In 1985 the building became the State of Illinois Annex Building following the completion of the James R. Thompson Center. In 2003 legislation was adopted to change buildings name again this time to The Justice Michael Bilandic State of Illinois Building. Mr Bilandic was a former Mayor of Chicago, a Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Illinois and a United States Marine Corps First lieutenant. Somewhere along the line the middle portion of the building was filled with the modernistic addition and the Hunt Sculpture was added.

DUELING PLANS FOR REPLACING CHICAGO’S THOMPSON CENTER
There are dueling plans in Chicago to replace the state-owned, Helmut Jahn-designed James R. Thompson Center at the Loop, one of which involves preserving the center and adding a 1,340-ft.-tall residential/hotel tower, and the other involving demolishing it to make way for a 1,700-ft.-tall mixed-use building designed by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture that would be the tallest in Chicago, surpassing the 1,450-ft.-tall Willis Tower, the Chicago Tribune reports. Built 32 years ago, the Thompson Center, with its distinct soaring atrium, serves as a state office building and transportation hub. State officials will decide what to do with the property, which could be sold to an outside developer.

The original Art Deco Times headquarters would be preserved, while a 1970s addition designed by William Pereira would be demolished.

THE UGLIEST BUILDING IN CHICAGO
The Thompson Center in the Chicago Loop is, in my mind, the ugliest building in Chicago. It's hideous from the outside, and the inside is a waste of space. Worst of all, because of the massively open interior and also because of the fact that there is a suburban-mall-style food court in the bottom level, every office I've ever been to in the building smells like a deep fryer.
Also on this day, I ran to the ferris wheel on Navy Pier. I took the El to get to and from work. I had enough time for pre-dinner at Blaze Pizza. And then I picked up the baby to go to swim class. It was a fun and full day.
Thanks for watching. Leave a comment to let me know you stopped by!
