SUMMARY:Windows on Design Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Stained glass has been enhancing buildings around the world for thousands of years. Discover how these windows are designed and then make your own acrylic stained-glass window. \nThis hands-on session will begin with a tour of one of Chicago’s most iconic stained glass windows\, the Preston Bradley Hall’s Tiffany Dome at the Chicago Cultural Center. Workshop participants will learn about the significance of this and other windows around the city. Back at the CAC\, participants will take what they learned and make their own acrylic stained window project to take home. \nThis workshop costs $25 for general admission and $17 for CAC Members.

SUMMARY:ReFramed and ReCovered: A Conversation with the Curators
DESCRIPTION:This intimate event brings co-curators for ReFramed and ReCovered into conversation around the many benefits that trees impart to cities. Learn about the vision and themes of these complementary exhibits and join the curators for a gallery tour. \nThis program is $15 for admission and $7 for CAC Members. \nIn “ReCovered: Chicago’s Urban Tree Canopy” we consider the many benefits of lining our streets with trees. This immersive exhibit connects people to an element of nature we are inherently drawn to but often ignore as integral to the livability of cities and resilience of neighborhoods. Through the exhibit’s interactivity\, we can sense how trees serve to soften the hard edges of our built surroundings. \nThe companion exhibit\, “ReFramed: The Future of Cities in Wood\,” transitions from horizontal\, protective cover to a soaring vertical space\, introducing visitors to a very different function for trees in the city: buildings constructed from mass timber\, a new structural material which holds great promise for sustainable development and breathtaking design. \nHear from Ryan Gann and Ian Spula\, co-curators on ReCovered and ReFramed\, respectively. The conversation will be moderated by CAC’s Director of Exhibitions\, Eve Fineman. \nAt the conclusion of the program\, attendees are invited to tour both exhibitions with the curators.

SUMMARY:Walk Like a Preservationist
DESCRIPTION:How can you look at an historic building and know that it should be preserved or landmarked? Join Adam Rubin\, CAC Director of Interpretation\, and member of the Commission on Chicago Landmarks\, and learn what to look for to determine if a building qualifies for preservation designation. \nChicago’s historic resources lend our city its unique sense of place. But what does it take to legally ensure a building’s protection? How are historic construction materials cared for differently than newer materials? And what will we need to do differently to protect a newer and expanded class of culturally significant sites as they become “historic”? \nThis program is $15 to attend and $7 for CAC Members. \nThis outdoor program will focus on sites near the CAC and the Chicago River and will involve walking less than a mile. The program will begin and end at the CAC. \nPROGRAM SPEAKER: ADAM RUBIN\n \nAdam Rubin is an architectural historian and has worked as a researcher\, writer and preservation educator in cities across the country. He currently serves as Director of Interpretation at the Chicago Architecture Center. Prior to assuming this position\, Adam contributed work to an historic resources study of properties along Chicago’s North Lake Shore Drive\, with an emphasis on the documentation of Modernist residential high-rises along the lakefront. Previously\, Adam has developed and led public education initiatives and outreach programs focused on historic resources and landscapes at Docomomo US\, Landmark West\, the Brooklyn Historical Society and the Los Angeles Conservancy.
