Meet me at the God Box: Mies van der Rohe: A Critical Biography with Shulze and Windhorst - More for October

It's still not too late to be adding items to the October Calendar of Chicago Architectural Events.

On Tuesday, October 23th, 5:30 - 7:30 p.m., Franz Schulze and Edward Windhorst, co-authors of the highly anticipated new and revised edition of Mies van der Rohe: A Critical Biography, will be at the Robert F. Carr chapel on IIT to discuss and sign copies of their new book. The chapel, known on campus as "The God Box" is the only ecclesiastical space designed by the architect.

It may be the last week of the month, but we still have over a dozen great items still coming up, including The Churches of Edward Dart at AIA/Chicago, Christian Kerez at IIT, Incessant Visions, a film on Erich Mendelsohn at the Spertus, with a post screening talk by Stanley Tigerman, AIA Chicago's Designight 2012, the Richard H. Driehaus Foundation Preservation Awards, Tom Leader at UIC, and, for Halloween, Edgar Allen Poe readings at Glessner House.

Check out the October Calendar of Chicago Architectural Events.

Aerialists and composers, gondolas and exposers, minimalists, subliminalists, Jakob, Wright, Mansueto, Shaw, lots maw - February Architectural events Tonight! (and at other hours, as well)

With snow-related cancellations, it's become a month shortened at each end, but the February Calendar of Chicago Architectural Events still has over three dozen great events.

An aerialist in Mie van der Rohe's Carr Chapel? Check.  The gondola as Venice's chariot in its race against Las Vegas? Check.  Did you know they've proposed a monument to Frederic Chopin in Grant Park?  We didn't either, but they have, and there's an event for that.

Plus Dominque Jakob at the Art Institute, Frank Lloyd Wright's SC Johnson Research Tower at CAF, Absolute Sullivan at the Cultural Center, Halvorson and Partners exposed, a hand's-on, day-long festival of engineering for kids, Ragdale, Men in Public Housing, a First Tuesday Happy Hour hung over into the second, a tour of Hoerr-Schaudt, Louis' Jewelbox Banks, engineering the subterranean, glass-domed Mansueto Library, Summit's Testa Produce, and - as they say - much, much more.

Check out all the who, when and where's for February here.
