  1. Review: '10 Buildings That Changed America' is a rewarding tour

    The new PBS program "10 Buildings That Changed America" is nothing if not efficient.
    The new PBS program "10 Buildings That Changed America" is nothing if not efficient. In a single breezy hour, it moves from Thomas Jefferson to Frank Gehry, racing in a chronological blur past Frank Lloyd Wright, Robert Venturi and a handful of other...

  2. TV Picks: 'Family Tree,' 'Nashville,' '10 Buildings,' 'The Middle'

    <strong>&quot;Family Tree" (HBO, premieres Sunday).</strong> Christopher Guest has made you a TV series. Thank him. The director of "A Mighty Wind" and "Best in Show" and one of the forces behind and in "This Is Spinal Tap" -- in which he was Nigel Tufnel, whose amplifier went to 11 and whose guitar you were not to touch or even to look at -- Guest has been an architect of modern comedy, from the improvised dialogue that marks his films to the documentary style in which most have been shot. Its sound is his sound, its look his look. (Ricky Gervais owes him his career, if we are to consider that career based on "The Office"; "Parks &amp; Recreation" could almost be Guest's own work.) In the wonderful "Family Tree," hangdog Chris O'Dowd ("Bridesmaids," "The IT Crowd"), finding his life stalled after losing a girlfriend and a job in short order, goes in search of his roots and relatives. It's a trip that takes him into the theater, a boxing club, England's rural north, the back end of pantomime horse and finally to America. Michael McKean, a regular member of Guest's repertory company, plays Tom's father; Nina Conti his troubled ventriloquist sister. Jim Piddock, another Guest player, co-wrote the series and also appears in it, as Tom's antique-dealing downstairs neighbor. Familiar faces Fred Willard, Bob Balaban, Ed Begley Jr. and Amy Seimetz will also arrive in due time.

  5. Review: 'The Third Coast' by Thomas Dyja

    The title of the first chapter of Thomas Dyja's &quot;The Third Coast: When Chicago Built the American Dream," evokes a smile: "The Brick Is Another Teacher." Dyja's book is roughly brick-size and brick-heft, and I wondered what it might have to teach. &bull; His subtitle suggests that Dyja aims to join the long and semi-honorable tradition of Chicago boosterism, books that claim Chicago is "world-class" in something, or that Chicago's influence on this, that or the other aspect of American culture has been underestimated. Such urban braggadocio was one foundation of Chicago, which grew from prairie trading post to world city so quickly in no small part due to the extreme claims of developers and politicians. But back to bricks.

    Malibu Barbie never had it so good. A Paul Smith rug, curtains sewn from Missoni fabric, LED sconces strung with Swarovski crystals, even a Mies van der Rohe Barcelona daybed cluttered with Rodeo Drive shopping bags — all small enough to fit in...

  7. Culture clash: New history of Chicago taps into our malaise

    &quot;The Third Coast: When Chicago Built the American Dream" has an elegant, unflinching, non-nostalgic clarity about Chicago that you rarely see in books about Chicago.
    Thomas Dyja looked at me with abject horror, then humor, then, as his face crumbled in defeat, resignation. A face that said, "See? This is why I wrote a 412-page cultural history of Chicago at midcentury that — as much as it pulls together...

  8. Other visions of home at Elmhurst Art Museum

    The lobby of the Elmhurst Art Museum is full with a dozen or so miniature wooden houses, perfect for dolls or birds with a taste for culture. The domestic sculptures are the work of the late Don Baum, who sometimes constructed them from mahjongg tiles, linoleum or goatskin, but mostly from cut-up junk shop paintings.

  10. Reimagining History

    When Chicago architect and designer Carlos Martinez, a principal with architecture/design firm Gensler, went apartment shopping with partner and communications consultant Michael Tirrell, they hoped they'd find a vintage unit. After years of living in the modern classic Mies van der Rohe building at 900 N. Lake Shore Drive, they were ready for an even older, more historic pedigree.
