So it was getting to be near the middle of the month, and someone asked about the
May Calendar of Chicago Architectural Events, “So I said, ‘Yeah - sure!’” Much like Frankie Pentangeli at those Senate hearings.
Even with the Memorial Day Holiday, there are still dozens of great events to come, beginning today, Wednesday the 14th, with former Emanuel administration tech guru
John Tolva discussing
Networked Urbanism: Re-Thinking Cities as Smart Machines, lunchtime at
CAF in conjunction with the Foundation's new show
Big Data. Tomorrow at 12:15 in the Murray-Green Library,
Dennis McClendon will discuss
Congress Street, the Auditorium and the South Loop for
Landmarks Illinois, while in the evening, San Simeon historian
Victoria Kastner will talk about
Hearst Ranch: Family, Land and Legacy at the
Driehaus. (Don't bring up the Orson Welles thing.)
Just some of the month's other highlights also include
Preservation Chicago's Ward Miller on
2014's Seven Most Threatened Buildings at
CAF,
Creative Time Director Anne Pasternak discussing
audacious public art at
MCA, architect
Tatiana Bilbao at the
Art Institute, a special
Pecha Kucha: City of Big Data edition, and a
town meeting at
Crown Hall on proposals for saving
Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House from recurring flood damage.
But wait, there's more! Check it all out on the
May Calendar of Chicago Architectural Events.
