Writers Nina Hahn and Skyline’s Tom O’Gorman weigh in on their special spots for friends and family, and what has/hasn’t changed in the last five decades. Then, Nora Gainer of the Art Institute of Chicago talks about the continuing magical mystery tour of art and architecture and the one-of-a-kind adventures with works of art. Lucien Lagrange, legendary architect of the Waldorf Astoria Chicago, explains how his vision for the building was inspired by the elegance and sophistication of Parisian hotels from the 1920s, and his focus on light and floor materials in the design.
