Let us hope this is not the most prominent thing the media notes about Helmut Jahn, who has died in a very bad bicycle crash. He apparently ran a stop sign and was hit by two cars.
UD vividly remembers walking for the first time into the vast Eschery atrium of Jahn’s James R. Thompson building in downtown Chicago. It must have just opened. It was my first encounter with the breathtaking empty space of monumental late modernism.

Campton Hills is not a safe place for bicycle riding. The crash site a local paper describes involves two busy roads, with road-ragey flatlanders often preoccupied on their devices, and rotaries that nobody knows how to use properly. RIP.
