Chicago Needs a Benefactor like Cummins Engine of Columbus, IN

The best (and really, the only) way to promote good architecture year after year is to do what Cummins Engine corporation did for Columbus, IN. Offer to any developer, or business that is building something money to pay the architect's fee, as long as the client chooses an architect from a list of the "top 20" in the world. What wonders this would do if done on a grander scale in Chicago. Some patron of architecture -- Cindy Pritzkers or Richard Driehaus, should take up the cause and offer a Cummins Engine like deal... Someone should starta letter-writing campaign..>
