The Holiday Season is upon us. Some organizations are skipping December, others are having parties, but we still have a full slate for the
December Calendar of Chicago Architectural Events.

| Cyril Marsolier and Wallo Villacorta, First Prize, Future Prentice competition |
Make sure you check out this coming week, because events are heavily front-loaded. On Tuesday, December 4th,
CAF has a panel discussion on
Shelter - Design for Social Change, with Roberta Feldman, John Car, Bryan Bell, Sunny Fisher, Patrick Tighe, and Theresa Hwang, the same day
Archeworks has its mid-year
Design Review and
SEAOI has
Practicing Green: A Guide to the Structural Engineer as the topic of their monthly dinner meeting, and Glessner House has its 125th Anniversary Dedication Dinner. Over at
Martyr's, there's edition #24 of
Pecha Kucha Chicago, with
Jordan Mozer,
Tess Landon, and Future Prentice design
competition winners Cyril Marsollier and
Wallo Villacorta among the presenters.
Wednesday the 4th, lunchtime at
CAF,
Brian Lee and
Ross Wimer of
SOM, discuss their
Infinity Tower in Dubai and Nozul Lusail Marina in Doha. Thursday the 6th, all day at the
UIC Forum, there's a major symposium:
Metropolitan Resilience in a Time of Economic Turmoil, whose participants include Rahm Emanuel, Pat Quinn, Toni Preckwinkle, the mayors of Columbus, Las Vegas and Pittsburgh, and U.S. Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood.
That evening,
ULI Chicago presents its 2012 lifetime achievement award to
Eugene Golub. On Friday,

On Wednesday the 19th,
CAF lunchtime closes out its month of heavyweights with
Ralph Johnson of
Perkins+Will talking about their
Universidade Agustinho Neto in Luanda and W
omen and Children's Wellness Centre in Nairobi.
And starting Friday, the 21st, the year closes out with the
Gene Siskel Film Center's holiday tradition of booking Hiroshi Teshigahara's hypnotic documentary
Antonio Gaudi. (and for something completely different, that same week at the Siskel you also get another to check out Leos Carax's audacious
Holy Motors.)
There's also
Julia Bachrach on
The City in a Garden at Garfield Park Conservatory, and
Larry Okrent on
Chicago from the Sky at both AIA/Chicago and at the Cultural Center for Friends of the Parks.
And much more.
Check out the nearly three dozen great items and exhibitions on the
December 2012 Calendar of Chicago Architectural Events.
