The Chicago Tribune’s architecture critic, Blair Kamin, visited the new CAC this week – and was favorably impressed. Although Kamin highlighted the huge skyscraper models as being the stars of the show, he noted that there were lots more reasons for a visit to the center, including the expanded Chicago Model . Kamin noted, “You couldn’t indulge in visual spectacle like that in the center’s old home, the atrium lobby of 224 S. Michigan Ave. But in its privately funded, $12 million new place at 111 E. Wacker Drive., which opens Friday, all sorts of tricks are possible and happily, they’re not cheap tricks. They serve the nonprofit foundation’s essential mission: Raising the city’s collective design IQ.”
