SUMMARY:Issues in Focus: Two Stadium Do-Overs for Chicago
DESCRIPTION:A pair of stadium proposals from the Bears and White Sox have ushered in supersized dreams for Chicago’s Museum Campus and The 78 megadevelopment site. Are these plans pointing the city toward wins\, losses or draws? Get a fresh take from our panel of designers. \nWhether you are a fan of professional sports or not\, we can all agree it’s big business. The sheer scale of these stadium proposals present opportunities to revisit past urban planning efforts\, to analyze major infrastructure needs and to forge new visions for our city. \nOur panel brings extensive out-of-town experience to the myriad issues concerning stadium design and sports district planning. Learn about the approaches that have fueled successful stadium rebuilds in other U.S. cities and current design trends that are foregrounding sound urban design and connectivity. This program will help you better understand the complexities and possibilities for city-building with major sports franchises. \nThis program is part of our Loop as Lab: Reshaping Downtowns exhibition series exploring key themes for the future of downtowns.

SUMMARY:What You Didn’t Learn on the Boat Tour
DESCRIPTION:Although our docents go into great depth covering the history of over 50 buildings on the CAC’s renowned River Cruise\, that ninety-minute tour is still not enough time to share all of the interesting facts about the architecture along the Chicago River. Join CAC docents as they share the “extra” stories about the buildings and people that make the Chicago River so special. \nThis illustrated talk features some of our favorite “deleted scenes” from the CAFC River Cruise aboard Chicago’s First Lady. Explore new thinking that may reverse your opinion of the Chicago River reversal. Meet a Chicago woman who embodied our city’s “I Will” motto. Slip under the glass skin to the concrete bones of a structural marvel. Ponder a question asked by every Chicago driver from 1908 to today. If you’ve ever approached a river cruise docent after your tour and asked\, “can you tell me more?” this presentation is for you! \nProgram Presenters: \nJosh Brickman \nJosh has a master’s degree in Structural Engineering and practiced in the City of Chicago for seven years. Now working as a software developer\, he continues to give architectural tours with CAC\, weaving science stories and physics facts into his tales about architecture and history. \nSusan Frost \nSusan has been giving architecture tours in the Chicago area for 25 years\, and has been a CAC docent since 2015. She has a BA in Art History and an abiding love of historic preservation and Chicago history. The question from guests that she can never answer is “what is your favorite building?” \nAlison Schlickman \nAlison has been a docent since 2015. As a fourth generation Chicagoan\, she loves Chicago’s architecture and history. Becoming a docent after a long career with the Federal Reserve has given her the chance to share her enthusiasm for Chicago with guests from far and wide. Being part of the Chicago Architecture Center has been a joy and a privilege for Alison.
