The builders
Stanley Tigerman
Architect
Tigerman, whose works include the Illinois Regional Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (1055 W Roosevelt Rd), is synonymous with this city’s architecture, particularly on the vanguard of accessibility and greening. He founded Archeworks, a nonprofit design studio and school geared toward social concerns, in 1994. But there’s another famous Chicago architect he’s “not a fan of”: Daniel Burnham. Tigerman says Burnham’s Plan of Chicago “was European in origin, not democratic. Housing was of no interest.… I’m a fan of the grid of Chicago—where we all live, in the grid. It’s crucial to the understanding of the city.”—Brent DiCrescenzo
Current projects include Skokie’s Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center.
