  • Discusses in detail the impact of Mies work in Chicago, and his architectural legacy in the context of a changing commercial landscape
  • Provides an in-depth analysis of the process of the commercial retrofitting of a 20th-century modular then-state-of-the-art skyscraper for a 21st-century contemporary space

The Langham, Chicago hotel is to be located within Chicago's landmark 52-story IBM Building, which is the last skyscraper designed by Mies van der Rohe. Last Is More: Mies, IBM, and the Transformation of Chicago covers the transformational process of designing and inserting a contemporary 21st-century luxury hotel into a 20th-century Mies skyscraper; the tension of retrofitting such a space; and how this impacts on the architectural legacies of Mies and IBM in Chicago.
