Seventy-six days after the shocking death of celebrity architect Helmut Jahn, the Chicago Architecture Center will open a new exhibit about his work and legacy.

You’ll remember that the 81-year-old Jahn died this past May in a bicycle crash in far west suburban Campton Hills.
“Helmut Jahn: Life + Architecture” opens July 23rd at the Chicago Architecture Center at 111 East Wacker Drive. It will feature models of his work, sketches, and other items on loan from his family and his company.

The CAC reopened from pandemic slumber a few months ago, so if you haven’t been there in a while, this is a good excuse to see how it’s reinvented itself while everyone was gone. However, for now it’s only open Thursday through Monday, 10am to 5pm.
Vaccinated visitors do not have to wear masks, but you don’t care because you saw a picture on Facebook that reinforces your worldview, and you’re much smarter than all those “doctors” and “scientists.” What do they know about medicine, anyway?
