(I was the one person who Kamin referenced from the comments page of the previous post.)<br /><br />Chicago is fortunate to have these two great architectural minds. How about we get Becker and Kamin on a panel discussion some day? <br /><br />I agree that it's of vital importance that this great city's future demands visionary thinking. This city was built on grand plans. Following the status quo is not the Chicago way.<br /><br />No two architectural critics are the same and it most certainly should be that way. An open dialogue is a necessary key in reviewing and defining what is great. Keep on fighting the good fight, Blair and Lynn.Erik Maldrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16069445625382113969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10923291.post-58432334060384526312009-06-11T21:49:27.116-05:002009-06-11T21:49:27.116-05:00Lynn,
