Okay, so now that we've gotten past the the freeze and the flood, maybe it's time again to venture and check out some great new items we've just added to the
January Calendar of Chicago Architectural Events.
On Monday, the 20th, there's a fundraiser at
Revolution Brewing for the
Rural Studio, founded by Samuel Mockbee and D.K. Ruth, this year celebrating its 20th anniversary, observed with an evening of
Pecha Kucha-style talks.
We've got two new events for Thursday, January 23rd. At the
Arts
Club, the newly renamed
Frank Lloyd Wright Trust (can a Sherman act be far behind?) will sponsor a cocktail reception and panel discussion,
Frank Lloyd Wright's Chicago Years with
David Bagnall, filmmaker
Tim Sakamoto and
David van Zanten, with the Trust's CEO
Celeste Adams moderating.
Meanwhile, over at the
Cindy Pritzker Auditorium at the Harold L. Washington Library,
Lawrence Vale will talk about
Transforming Public Housing and his new book,
Purging the Poorest: Public Housing and the Design Politics of Twice-Cleared Communities.
This coming Thursday evening, January 16,
Barbara Geiger will be talking about Evanstonian Daniel H. Burnham and the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in a lecture titled
The Devil Comes to Wilmette, at the
Evanston History Center. Earlier in the day, art historian
Rolf Achilles will be discussing
The Significance of The Auditorium Building, for
Landmarks Illinois, at the building's Murray-Green Library.
On Wednesday the 15th, lunchtime at
Chicago Architecture Foundation, representatives from
SCB and
Loyola will provide a
Building Preview: Institute of Environmental Sustainability.
And if that's enough, we've also added a new exhibition,
Iterations: John Ronan's Poetry Foundation, at the
Art Institute of Chicago.
The snow is melting; the sidewalks clearing - liberate yourself! Escape from cabin fever with the dozens of great things still to come on the
January Calendar of Chicago Architectural Events.
