This coming
Thursday evening, November 15th, is another one of those architectural event standoffs where great choices find themselves all crammed into the same timespace.

Messy Mies + MASSIVE middle is hosting a closing engagement at 7 pm on 7 December at RHC of Oakton Community College at 7701 N Lincoln Avenue in Skokie. We have created three beautifully crafted monochromatic basswood models eschewing the photo realistic renderings and life-size images that proliferate in most architectural exhibitions. Ours is instead radio rather than color TV and we have created sliding flash cards to engage and guide you through it. Please stop by and check out what's in The Cone of Silence first hand. It hasn't been seen since 1934! Cheers!
