Make No Little Plans
One-hundred twenty-five years ago, architect Daniel Burnham, who was also the Designer of Works for the World’s Fair: Columbian Exposition in Chicago, helped create the first large scale implementation of a new campaign known as the City Beautiful Movement.
That’s where Burnham first said:
“Make no little plans, they have no magic to stir men’s blood and probably themselves will not be realized.”
I think he meant that when we dream big enough, we can restore our belief that the craft and art of building can bring out the very best in human beings. His words are as true in 2018 as they were in 1893.
