Chicago's Millennium Park A Resounding Success
Blair Kamin, the Tribune's architecture critic declares the $475 million Millennium Park a 'cultural spectacle'.
"A no place transformed into a grand space ...a joyful park that's sprinkled with smile-inducing sculpture and mind-bending "wow-chitecture... Millennium Park mirrors the rebirth of Chicago, not just the robustness of the real estate market, but the ambition of its patrons, the creativity of its artists and architects, and the ongoing miracle of its ability to transform a no place into a someplace that's extraordinary."
