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. A panel of judges including professional photographers and architecture experts will choose winners from each category to be announced following the opening of the exhibition. Finalists and winners will be on display at The Center\, offering a unique look at the sites and spaces explored during the Open House Chicago weekend. \nThis exhibition is a chance to celebrate the diverse architecture of Chicago through the eyes of the community. Visit to see how different photographers captured the beauty and details of our city. \n\nPhoto by Jennifer Shanahan

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:Disruptors Exhibition - Celebrating 50 Years of Chicago Women in Architecture
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition celebrates the legacy of Chicago women who have shaped architecture and design industries in the Windy City and beyond through the lens of the 50th anniversary of the Chicago Women in Architecture (CWA) professional group. \nDISRUPTERS showcases the trailblazing founders of CWA\, who 50 years ago broke through the barriers of a male-dominated industry. These pioneers\, lacking their own space\, sat on the floor of an office to conceive of an organization that would support and uplift women in architecture. The exhibition traces CWA’s journey over the past five decades\, celebrating the progress the group has made and its lasting impact on the field while taking a look at the splinter groups that emerged from CWA\, some more disruptive than others. \nThe exhibit was developed in partnership with CWA\, Wink Design\, Ross Barney Architects\, and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC).

SUMMARY:Carlos Moreno on the Livable City
DESCRIPTION:A special program featuring Professor Carlos Moreno\, the man who coined the term 15-Minute City to describe an urbanist movement that encourages walkable\, accessible and dynamic neighborhoods. \nDuring the Pandemic\, as a result of working from home\, many people rediscovered their own neighborhoods and all that they offer and don’t offer. Not coincidentally\, this is when the 15-Minute City took the world by storm. The 15-Minute City is rooted in the tried-and-true Urbanism of our oldest cities. It encourages bringing offices\, shops\, restaurants\, entertainment and essential services closer to where people live\, while providing an inviting environment for walking\, biking and strengthening social connections. The concept has also been touted as a way for cities to build back from the pandemic in more resilient ways. \nDuring this program\, learn about the movement’s origins and core principles\, and its rapid adoption by cities like Paris\, Shanghai\, Buenos Aires\, and Houston. Also discover how these ideas are beginning to influence urban policy and community development in Chicago’s neighborhoods and downtown. \nThis program is part of our Loop as Lab: Reshaping Downtowns exhibition series exploring key themes for the future of downtowns. \nProgram Speaker: Carlos Moreno \nUniversity Professor and Researcher\, Carlos Moreno earned international recognition as a scientist with an innovative mind\, pioneer works and unique approach to urban issues. He is also a scientific advisor of national and international figures of the highest level. He works at the heart of issues of international significance as a result of his research\, bringing an innovative perspective on urban issues and offering solutions to the issues faced by the cities in the 21st century. Some of his concepts have traveled the world: the ‘Human Smart City’\, the ’15-Minute City’ and the ’30-Minute Territory’.  In 2022\, he led the launch of the Global Observatory of Sustainable Proximities at the World Urban Forum with UN-Habitat\, C40 Cities\, UCLG and other partners. His latest book\, “The 15-Minute City: A Solution to Saving Our Time and Our Planet\,” is published by Wiley (May\, 2024).

SUMMARY:Building a Relevant Historic Preservation Movement with Bonnie McDonald
DESCRIPTION:Kick off Preservation Month at the CAC with Landmarks Illinois President and CEO Bonnie McDonald! This program will explore the future of architectural preservation with her new book\, “The Relevancy Guidebook\,” unveiled in November 2023.\n\n\n\nAt its 50th anniversary\, Landmarks Illinois embarked on an effort to explore how to move preservation forward over the next 50 years\, culminating in its guiding principles. What the organization found is that preservationists across the nation are deeply questioning the practices and movement’s future. Landmarks Illinois president & CEO Bonnie McDonald was awarded a 2020 James Marston Fitch Charitable Foundation Mid-Career Fellowship to help bring the field’s challenges\, and solutions\, to the forefront through the Relevancy Project. Between 2019-2021\, she spoke to 130 individuals\, both within and outside of the preservation field\, to explore these questions and bring forward crowdsourced wisdom illuminating how change is possible. The project evolved into a forward-looking effort to catalogue preservation’s issues\, make the case for its opportunities\, highlight resources and instigate collective action toward change that will build a more relevant and just movement. Join us as McDonald explores her findings catalogued in her book\, “The Relevancy Guidebook: How We Can Transform the Future of Preservation\,” published by Landmarks Illinois in November 2023. Read her January 2023 Next City Op Ed and guidebook Executive Summary for a primer on the Relevancy Project’s outcomes.\n\n\nSpeaker: Bonnie McDonald\, President & CEO of Landmark Illinois\nOver her 11-year tenure as President & CEO\, Bonnie McDonald has led Landmarks Illinois to become a statewide and national voice for relevant change at this inflection point for the preservation movement. Bonnie’s transformative leadership has led Landmarks Illinois to focus on people and their vital connection to place\, and to develop collaborative solutions addressing community concerns like climate change\, affordable housing and lack of access to capital. Her policy work to incent preservation has led to over $6B in investment in existing buildings and over 30K new jobs created. The James Marston Fitch Charitable Foundation awarded Bonnie its 2020 Mid-Career Fellowship to inform\, inspire and support preservation’s evolution through The Relevancy Project\, a four-year interview and research initiative culminating in the recently published Relevancy Guidebook. During this time\, she has also maintained her commitment to serving as volunteer and mentor in the preservation community. From 2018-2021\, Bonnie chaired the board of the National Preservation Partners Network\, the national nonprofit representing preservation organizations\, and she currently serves as an appointee to the State of Illinois Route 66 Centennial Commission. Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot appointed Bonnie co-chair of the Chicago Monuments Project Advisory Committee in 2020 to help lead a truth and racial reckoning process around the city’s problematic artworks. Bonnie and Landmarks Illinois proudly received the AIA Chicago Distinguished Service Award in December 2022. She holds a Master’s Degree in Historic Preservation Planning from Cornell University.

SUMMARY:Loop as Lab: Reshaping Downtowns Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Chicago’s Loop is an inflection point\, emerging from the pandemic on shaky footing but also with abundant opportunity to transition to something more vibrant\, resilient\, and livable. Loop as Lab: Reshaping Downtowns holds our central business district up to the light\, exploring ways to keep our economic engine humming while diversifying uses and making the Loop more welcoming for everyone. \nThe exhibition frames Chicago’s Loop as a “lab” for examining the shared challenges American downtowns face today. It prompts visitors’ reflection on their own experiences and aspirations and ventures design and policy solutions for reshaping downtowns and our relationship to them. The show espouses the belief that Chicagoans can continue to meet our challenges with vision and resolve\, while also drawing inspiration from more than a century of central area planning and a modern-day exchange of ideas with peer cities. \nLoop as Lab: Reshaping Downtowns\, presents a range of projects\, initiatives\, and provocative design ideas centered around four themes: \n\nRESIDE: Where and why are people living downtown?\nRENEW: Can we repurpose existing buildings for long-term public or private gain?\nRECONNECT: Can city dwellers safely and comfortably traverse downtown\, and access its amenities and services?\nREWILD: How are we incorporating green spaces and accommodating nature?\n\nEach theme is developed through a look at case study plans/projects by leading designers\, architects\, and developers. In addition\, a corresponding set of “architectural follies-in-the-round” at the heart of the gallery offers interactive entrypoints for visitors\, inviting engagement with the themes and ideas in unique ways. Further personalizing the content\, vignettes of “downtown denizens” (e.g. residents\, shop owners\, cyclists\, students) feature their individual experiences and hopes for the downtown area. \nTo further drive home the importance of participatory design and planning\, the exhibit features various public engagement strategies and activities\, including interactive elements like an entryway video produced by local podcasters\, 77 Flavors of Chicago\, and a “ballot box” where visitors can write and submit feedback on downtown design issues. \nPhoto of Marina Towers taken by Jason Peterson \nLAB EXPLORER KITS FOR THE FAMILY\nDid you know that the Chicago Loop can be used as a laboratory to learn new things about how we live and play? Stop by the CAC Box Office during the run of this exhibition\, and pick up a Lab Explorer Kit! Contents are designed to engage youth ages 6 to 12.
