So, yes, we're trying to set a record. The
March 2012 Calendar of Chicago Architectural Events is still not complete - but it's getting close.
This week, we've got
EMA's (and
Yale's)
Edward Mitchell today, Monday the 12th at
UIC,
Redesigning Logan Square at
AIA Chicago and
John Edel at
Access Living for
Archeworks, tomorrow, Tuesday, the 12th.
On Wednesday, the 13th, the
Metropolitan Planning Council has a lunchtime session on
Making Fun and Functional Transit Centers, while over at
CAF it's museum director
Louise Lincoln and
Antonovich Associates architect
Jeffry P. Mason serving up the new
DePaul Art Museum on the menu.
Thursday the 14th is logjam day, with
CNU Illinois offering up an all-day conference with three separate workshops on the subject of
Redefining Convenience,
Landmarks Illinois goes on
Strike! with a lunchtime lecture at the
Cultural Center on the topic of Chicago's early commercial bowling and billiard halls (please: no wagering), while at 6:00 p.m. at the
Art Institute,
Barbara Barletta ponders The
Parthenon--How Innovative Is It?, and also at 6:00 p.m. at the
Columbus Auditorium of the
School of the Art Institute, there's an appearance by Berlin-based designer and conceptual artist
Jerszy Seymour.
On Friday, Carlos Leite's lecture on Sao Paolo Sustainability Indicators has been cancelled, but author
Megan Born will be talking about and signing copies of her new book,
Dirt at the
Graham Foundation. No, it's not a consideration of the journalistic proclivities of Rupert Murdoch, but "a selection of works that share dirty attitudes: essays, interviews, excavations, and projects that view dirt not as filth but as a medium, a metaphor, a material, a process, a design tool, a narrative, a system."
We're still filling it out, but there are already nearly three dozen events to check out on the
March 2012 Calendar of Chicago Architectural Events.
