From Mies' birthday to Walter Hood, Craig Dykers, Joseph Rosa, Lee Bey and beyond - nearly 50 events on March architectural calendar

Salute Mies van der Rohe with one of his signature martinis at his birthday party at IIT, hear lectures by Walter Hood, Brad Cloepfil, Craig Dykers, the Art Institute's new curator of Architecture and Design Joseph Rosa, and Lee Bey, dance the night away at fund-raising galas for the Chicago Architecture Foundation and the Landmarks Preservation Council as it salutes Los Weisberg. The March calendar of Chicago architectural events is bubbling over with almost 50 events, including a scheduling train wreck on March 2nd that includes not only the Mies celebration at IIT, but John Vinci talking about Pilgrim Baptist at CAF, and the announcement of first round winners in the Chicago Architectural Club's Learning from North Lawndale competition.
