Thanks to Bob Irving, millions have seen Chicago’s skyline from the best seat in the house — the river. He created the Chicago Architecture Center’s boat tours, which are now a staple of the city’s tourism industry. Irving died earlier this month at the age of 93. Reset reflects on his life and legacy with Geoffrey Baer, WTTW host and architecture boat cruise docent; Laurie Petersen, editor of the AIA Guide to Chicago Architecture; and Linda Miller, president of Friends of Historic Second Church.
