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 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.
