Next Friday, September 21st,
Das Haus, a traveling pavilion from Germany that demonstrates state-of-the-art technologies in building construction and solar energy use, makes its way to Daley Plaza for a ten day run. In conjunction, with the installation, there's a series of lectures which we've just added to the
September Calendar of Chicago Architectural Events. On Friday, the 21st, the Passive House Alliance Chicago offers an
Introduction to Passive House, at the Hafele America Chicago showroom, and at Lunchtime on the 24th, Katrin Klilngenberg talks about 1
0 Years of Passive House in the U.S. at the Goethe Institute, among other events.
On Thursday, September 18th, 7:00 at the Graham, a chamber ensemble will play a new version of Fluxus artist
Dick Higgins' The Thousand Symphonies. Four Chicago Police officers were enlisted to create the composition by blasting notes onto music paper with machine guns. The work was originally created by Higgins in 1968 as a non-destructive use of guns for purposes "other than killing Viet Cong and scattering protesters." The performance will be preceded by a short film documenting the creation of the Chicago composition.
