OK, the 4th on a Wednesday has somehow morphed into a holiday weekend, so there's not much going on until next Tuesday, and after that, things heat up with new addition to the
July Calendar of Chicago Architectural Events.
This coming Tuesday, July 9th, taking place at 6:00 p.m. at
Polish Triangle on Milwaukee, Division, and Ashland and
Broken Windows: Writers Examine the Human Element in Urban Design, with stories from
Paul Durica,
Maribel Mares and
Sara Ross and an
open mic (sign-up begins at 5:30 p.m.) Earlier (3:00 to 5:00 p.m., to be exact) in the same location
Katherine Darnstadt of
Latent Design will lead a
Broken Windows Place Making Workshop. No actual windows will be harmed in either event.
On Thursday, the 25th,
Anne Mallek, curator at
Greene and Greene's Gamble House in Pasadena, will be at the
Pritzker Auditorium in the
Monroe Building to lecture on
“Good Houses and Good Books”: The English Arts and Crafts Movement in America. Among the major players in the movement were English designer Charles Robert Ashbee, and, in America, Frank Lloyd Wright, whose son took the picture of Ashbee you see here.
Getting back to this coming week, the
Chicago Center on Green Technology has a Wednesday session on
Accelerating Sustainability in Chicago's 77 Community Areas, while lunchtime on Thursday the 11th
John Eifler talks about (Frank Lloyd)
Wright's Search for Innovation in Design at
Fourth Presbyterian's Gratz Center.
On Thursday evening, the
Chicago Architecture Foundation sponsors
A River Runs Through It: Developing and Designing Chicago's Second Shoreline, a panel discussion with
Benet Haller,
John Quail,
Tom D'Arcy,
Doug Farr and moderator
Josh Ellis. Same evening,
CCGT offers a preview of this year's
GreenBuilt Home Tour, and at the
Music Institute of Chicago (in Evanston, ironically enough) there's another panel discussion/book signing for the just published
Evanston: 150 Years, 150 Places, with
Stuart Cohen,
Jack Weiss,
Heidi Hoppe,
Kris Hartzell and
Laura Saviano.
Event-wise, July is really just getting started, so check out the three dozen great items to come on the
July Calendar of Chicago Architectural Events.
