Proceeds will support the Schindler House (1922), the Mackey Apartments (1939), and the Fitzpatrick-Leland House (1936)—all designed by R.M. Schindler. 

The list of architects contributing to Light My Way, Stranger includes, but is not limited to, Atelier Hitoshi Abe, Ball-Nogues Studio, Bestor Architecture, Erlich Architects, Hodgetts & Fung Design, Francois Perrin, P-A-T-T-E-R-N-S, and Mark Mack Architects. The fixtures vary from futuristic to warm to (dare we say) theatrical.
