<p>“While our hearts are heavy, we believe that there can be no Brininstool + Lynch without Lynch,” part of a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Co9C6ApuMS6/" target="_blank">statement</a> from founding partner David Brininstool reads. “Over the past months, we began a deliberate, thoughtful transition process with the intention of saying an emotional goodbye to Brininstool + Lynch. This is not a farewell. We know that the best way to honor what came before is to invent what comes after. And we know that the legacy of this important firm will continue to reverberate — in memories and conversations, in pedagogy and publications, and, most important, in buildings that have reshaped the landscape in Chicago and beyond.”</p>
