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.

SUMMARY:Rewilding Chicago’s Waterways
DESCRIPTION:The Wild Mile is one-of-a-kind: a floating eco-park in the heart of the city. Visit this steadily growing wonder on the North Branch of the Chicago River for a conversation\, walking tour\, and optional kayak adventure with co-creators Urban Rivers and Skidmore\, Owings & Merrill (SOM). Backed by the City of Chicago as part of a larger effort to redefine and rehabilitate this channelized section of the river\, a team of experts and community partners devised the Wild Mile as proof-of-concept in how industrial waterways can be reborn as wildlife sanctuaries connecting city dwellers to nature. In 2022\, the first 400 feet of what will ultimately be an intricate mile-long network of floating boardwalks and wetlands debuted along the North Branch Canal behind the Kingsbury Street REI store. This spring an extension is underway that will double the park’s length. Urban Rivers co-founder and Executive Director Nick Wesley and SOM Partner Doug Voigt will share fascinating details of the design\, planning and lengthy negotiations behind this undertaking\, and give tours of the new landscape and habitat. Come discover the thriving ecosystem that has quickly taken hold above and below the water’s surface! This program is part of the Chicago Architecture Center’s Loop as Lab: Reshaping Downtowns exhibition series exploring key themes for the future of cities. \nDue to space limitations\, this event is capped at 40 registrants. Those interested in the kayak tour should reserve an extra hour (until 7pm)\, which is first come first served with a maximum capacity of 8 participants. This option will be available upon checkout.

SUMMARY:New Book Presentation and Discussion on the Origins of Jean Baptiste Point du Sable
DESCRIPTION:In this book discussion\, Dr. Rafael Pérez Guerra presents a series of historical documents long accepted as traditional and true until the mid-twentieth century\, when several American and Chicago historians replaced the sources with their interpretations and historical fallacies that persist today. The author attempts to clarify these presumptions and demands that the truth be revealed.

SUMMARY:History Course: The Germanen At the Crossroads of Antiquity
DESCRIPTION:Date: \nStart\nThursday\, October 03\, 2024 \nTime:  \nLocation: \nLocation\nDANK Haus: 2nd Floor\, Brauhaus Room \n\n \nThe Germanen: At the Crossroads of Antiquity \nHistory Course presented by Mike Haas \nBegins October 3\, 2024 \nThursday nights\, 7-9 PM \nWestern European civilization arose from its encounter with the cultures of Rome\, Athens & Jerusalem. It was at these crossroads of antiquity that the ancient Germanen would appear on the world stage as warlike barbarians—to the Romans and Greeks—and soulless pagans—to Jews and Christians. It was at the confluence of these cultures\, however\, that the identity of Western Europe would gradually take shape.  \nIndeed\, as these ancient cultures clashed\, overlapped and intersected\, the center of geo-political power in antiquity shifted from the Hellenic East to Rome. It was from the monotheism of Jerusalem that Christianity was derived\, and once Rome adopted the fledgling faith\, so would the Germanic successor kingdoms in the western half of the former Roman Empire during the 6th\, 7th & 8th centuries. \nIt would be these same ancient Germanen\, however\, who would not only assimilate Roman culture and Christian religiosity but in time leave their own cultural imprint on what became known as the Holy Roman Empire. A powerful Western European geo-political entity during the Early Middle Ages\, it was founded by Karl der Grosse (Charlemagne)\, a West Germanic/Frankish tribal king into whose hands was laid the defense of Western Christendom by Pope Leo III on Christmas Day in Rome in the year 800. For his vision and endeavors in putting Western Europe on a path leading out of the Dark Ages\, Karl would be heralded as the Father of Europe. \nJoin us\, then\, for an exploration of Germanic Antiquity and its Kultur to find out what recorded history tells us of these martially vigorous Germanen\, who carried mighty and swift swords but few of whom could read or write. \nThis course will provide participants an excellent opportunity to broaden their general knowledge and basic understanding of early German history. No textbooks\, no homework\, no papers\, no tests or German language skills required. Just a sincere interest to come/learn and come/share in a relaxed\, laid-back setting in the DANK Haus itself or on Zoom within the cozy confines of your own abode. \nMike Haas\, Course Presenter

SUMMARY:Don't Go: Tonika Johnson & Maria Krysan
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening with Tonika Lewis Johnson and Dr. Maria Krysan discussing their new book\, Don’t Go: Stories of Segregation and How to Disrupt It. \nThe program will feature a thought-provoking conversation between the two authors\, a Black artist and a White academic\, who met through their shared passion for anti-segregation work. Together\, they’ll discuss their research and documentation of personal stories detailed in the book\, and actionable ways to disrupt harmful cycles of disinvestment and resource disparity across Chicago’s neighborhoods and built environment. \nIn their new book\, Tonika Lewis Johnson and Dr. Maria Krysan document the reflections of Chicagoans who’ve heard\, taken\, or given the all-too-common advice\, “Don’t go to Chicago’s South or West Sides.” By inviting readers into the lives of Chicagoans who have ignored these warnings\, the stories in Don’t Go discuss the consequences of built environment disinvestment\, pervasive social influence\, and de facto segregation\, while also highlighting the rewards of coming together.
