A couple of years ago, I went to see (and hear) This American Life on its “Lost in America” tour, and got to see part of “Lost Buildings,” a fascinating collaboration between Ira Glass and Chris Ware on “the true story of a boy named Tim Samuelson, who became obsessed with old buildings, especially the buildings of Louis Sullivan in Chicago, during the 1960s and 70s when they were being torn down.” It’s been made into a DVD. Cool! There’s an article on the Apple Pro site about its production and the role of media designer John Kuramoto (link via kottke.org). It’s available as a premium during pledge drives (for now, at least); I don’t mind donating to public radio, but I wish there were a more expedient way to get my hands on this DVD.
