SUMMARY:Dr. King in North Lawndale: Housing Access in Chicago
DESCRIPTION:In recognition of April as Fair Housing Month\, join us for a panel exploring an impactful and often overlooked Chicago chapter in the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.\, and the legacy he left behind in the city’s fair housing landscape. \nIn January of 1966\, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. moved his family to the North Lawndale neighborhood on Chicago’s West Side. On the heels of the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965\, Dr. King had set his sights on Chicago for his first major campaign outside the south\, joining the Chicago Freedom Movement’s efforts to combat discriminatory housing practices. Due in large part to his advocacy in Chicago and beyond\, legal protections from housing discrimination would finally be secured with the passage of the federal Fair Housing Act on April 11\, 1968\, six days after his assassination. \nOur panel discussion will contextualize Dr. King’s time in North Lawndale and his work with the Chicago Freedom Movement\, investigating the progress and ongoing challenges in combatting housing discrimination and access in Chicago spanning six decades. \nHear from distinguished panelists including Monica Chadha\, AIA\, LEED AP\, and founder of the architecture firm Civic Projects; Jonathan Eig\, journalist and author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning biography\, King: A Life; Blanche Killingsworth\, president and founder of the North Lawndale Historical and Cultural Society; and Tim Swanson\, President & CEO of Inherent L3C. The discussion will be moderated by CAC’s CEO & President\, Eleanor Gorski.

SUMMARY:All in on Quantum: A Vision for the South Lakefront
DESCRIPTION:A first-of-its-kind Illinois Quantum & Microelectronics Park (IQMP) will soon touch down at the former U.S. Steel South Works site\, a 440-acre barren expanse at the end of the lakefront trail. Learn all about this generational investment on the Far South Side. \nThe largest piece of the new megadevelopment is a leading-edge quantum computing campus for the company PsiQuantum. IBM has also announced it will participate in the IQMP’s National Quantum Algorithm Center next door\, and a much-needed Advocate Health hospital to the north rounds out the site plan. The proposed buildings\, roadways and recreational paths are set back from improved parkland skirting the shoreline. \nOur program brings together project leaders and elected officials for an informative\, thought-provoking discussion. The panelists are: Related Midwest President Curt Bailey; PsiQuantum Executive VP Josh Richman; and Aldermen Peter Chico (10th) and Greg Mitchell (7th). Architect Lesley Roth\, Principal at Lamar Johnson Collaborative\, moderates the discussion. \nThe panel will address several questions\, including: \n\nWhat is quantum computing and why are technologists and economic boosters so bullish on it?\nWhat in particular makes the former U.S. Steel site attractive for quantum computing?\nHow will this project utilize best practices in urban planning?\nWhat is the full catalytic potential for new investment within nearby communities?\n\nThis program is part of our 2025 Public Domain series\, where we explore Chicago design and development with big implications for the public realm.

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.

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.

SUMMARY:Architect Talk: Carol Ross Barney
DESCRIPTION:Dive into an architectural career devoted to people\, places and cities\, celebrated in the new book\, The People’s Architect. A widely admired urbanist\, mentor and educator\, Carol advocates for excellent design accessible to all—as a right rather than a privilege. Encompassing new schools\, libraries\, transit stations and parks\, including city-defining projects like the Chicago Riverwalk\, her practice showcases a belief in the transformative power of the built environment in our daily lives. In an age of diminishing investment in and care for our shared public realm\, Carol’s work reminds us of the catalytic power of beautifully designed infrastructure and civic spaces. \nPre-signed copies of The People’s Architect are available for purchase at the CAC Design Store or online. Get your copy personally inscribed by Carol at the conclusion of the program. \nGuests are invited to a reception with light bites and refreshments at 5:00 p.m. outside the lecture hall. The program starts at 6:00 p.m. \nImage Credit: Chicago Riverwalk. Photo by Kate Joyce Studios

SUMMARY:Photographing the Salt Shed: The Intersection of Art and Labor
DESCRIPTION:Originally constructed in 1929\, the Morton Salt Company Warehouse Complex is a familiar and beloved Chicago Landmark along Elston Avenue near Goose Island. For decades\, its enormous hand-painted sign has captivated people traveling along Interstate I-90. As times changed\, the property was no longer used for salt storage and processing. Sandra Steinbrecher’s new photography book\, The Salt Shed\, chronicles the building’s remarkable transformation into a stunning music venue. \nJoin the CAC for an enlightening panel discussion on the Salt Shed’s redevelopment\, history and working-class roots. Joining Sandra are Daniel John Majerowicz\, the plumbing foreman for the project\, and Paul Durica\, Director of Exhibitions at the Chicago History Museum and author of the book’s history essay. The conversation is moderated by Heidi Stevens\, a Chicago writer\, speaker and nationally syndicated columnist\, who wrote the book’s foreword. \nCopies of The Salt Shed will be on sale at the CAC Design Store before and after the program and there will be a short book signing following the panel discussion.

SUMMARY:Architects on Housing Solutions
DESCRIPTION:How can we address the housing crisis in a way that increases social equity? How can architecture and design help achieve these goals? Our panel of seasoned housing designers sets out to find answers. \nCities across the nation face a severe crisis in housing affordability. More than 40% of the U.S. population struggles with monthly housing costs. This situation has multiple complex causes that transcend design-based solutions\, but architects are nevertheless key to the systemic change required in how we deliver quality housing\, and to whom. \nHousing the Nation: Social Equity\, Architecture\, and the Future of Affordable Housing (Rizzoli\, 2024)\, edited by Alexander Gorlin and Victoria Newhouse\, includes contributions from economists\, community organizers\, lawyers\, planners and architects\, all actively involved in addressing the housing crisis. Our conversation with innovative architectural practitioners and contributors to Housing the Nation\, moderated by former Chicago housing commissioner Marisa Novara\, will echo the essay collection in examining our present-day situation and the pragmatism needed to make inroads toward housing justice. The book will be on sale before and after the event at the CAC Design Store and online at shop.architecture.org. \nImage: Oso Apartments Courtesy of Canopy Architecture + Design

SUMMARY:ReCovered: Lawndale's Urban Tree Canopy
DESCRIPTION:A FREE pop-up exhibition in Lawndale exploring the role of trees in our city. Opens October 4 and runs through the fall. \nIn this pop-up exhibition located in Lawndale\, visitors will discover the magical role that trees play in our city through a reimagining of an exhibition that was on display at the CAC in 2023. ReCovered explores the impact of trees—-from quality of life to quality of air—-on the urban dweller’s experience. Guests will learn about tree planting initiatives throughout Chicago\, and specifically on improving tree coverage in the Lawndale community\, as well as trees native to the local area. The ReCovered exhibition is co-curated by Ryan Gann.
