SUMMARY:Framed Views (Exhibition)
DESCRIPTION:This year\, for the first time\, CAC hosted a Photo Competition during Open House Chicago\, the weekend of October 19-20. Festival-goers of all skill levels were invited to take photos while exploring the city’s architectural sites and submit them in one of four categories: Interior\, Exterior\, Architectural Detail\, and Black & White. \nAfter receiving over 1\,300 submissions\, the photos were reviewed by our curatorial team\, who selected up to twelve finalists for each category.

SUMMARY:ADFF Screening - E. 1027: Eileen Gray and the House by the Sea
DESCRIPTION:Architecture & Design Film Festival Screening: This is a story about Eileen Gray’s visionary masterpiece\, E.1027\, and her battle to reclaim control from Le Corbusier’s dominance over her creation. \nAbout the Film: \nShe built a house for herself. Unfortunately\, it turned out to be a masterpiece. \nIrish designer Eileen Gray built a refuge on the Côte d‘Azur in 1929. Her first house is a discrete\, avant-garde masterpiece. She named it E.1027\, a cryptic marriage of her initials and those of Jean Badovici\, with whom she built it. \nLe Corbusier\, upon discovering the house\, became intrigued and obsessed. He later covered the walls with murals and published photos of them. Gray described these paintings as vandalism and demanded restitution. He ignored her wishes and instead built his famous Cabanon directly behind E.1027\, which dominates the narrative of the site to this day. \nThis is a story about the power of one woman’s creative expression and a man’s desire to control it.
