She said \u2018this is going to be a place for people to gather.\u2019 I told her, \u2018Jeanne do you know why we are putting up this wall?\u2019\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Albert smoked a whole pack of Marlboros before continuing, \u201cJeanne acted like this wall was going to be one of those gazebos she made for the Lincoln Park Zoo.

Probably have to reunite Germany at this point. we fixed Solstice by putting up scaffolding but that might not work if the wall is already down.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Correction: In a statement to the Dealer after the original publication, the beloved architectural firm told the Dealer, \u201cYou guys can\u2019t just make shit up.
