I’m very sorry to report that Chicago architect Brad Lynch, co-founder of Brininstool + Lynch, has died. A distinguished practitioner, critic + teacher, Brad graced Chicago with strong ideas + the buildings that grew from them. He’ll be missed. Full bio: brininstool-lynch.com/brinin…

We’re so sorry John Rauch has passed away at 91. For 20 years John worked alongside Bob, Denise, & later Steve Izenour, from 1964 to retirement in 1987. Here are 2 photos showing John & staff in 1970s & 1981. Our deepest condolences to John’s family, friends, & former colleagues.

The cost of inaction is too much to bear when it comes to the climate crisis. Each day we wait, we accrue more of the consequences. It’s time for bold climate action *now*.
