SUMMARY:Noted Chicago Bridge Designers
DESCRIPTION:A look at a quintet of designers who impacted bridge design in Chicago and throughout the United States. \nWhile it would be hyperbole to call Chicago “a city of bridges”\, it certainly has its fair share crossing the Chicago River. The city has more moveable bridges than any other in the United States. Multiple waterways\, car and pedestrian traffic\, and heavy railroad infrastructure require bridges of all shapes and sizes in the city–some of which have amazing histories often overlooked. Behind the bridges are their designers: Ralph Modjeski and Joseph Strauss began their storied careers and opened their first offices in Chicago before receiving national and international acclaim; John Alexander Low Waddell and John Greiner were already famous before they erected structures in Chicago; an architect and urban planner\, Edward Bennett\, worked to instill the principles of the City Beautiful movement in his bridge designs which was contained in the Chicago Plan of 1909. This virtual program will discuss these designers and the functional beauty these bridges bring to Chicago.

SUMMARY:Alden B. Dow: A Way of Life
DESCRIPTION:Midland\, Michigan’s significance in the development of the Mid-Century Modern Movement is well deserved thanks to native son\, and Michigan’s Architect Laureate Alden B. Dow F.A.I.A. Introducing modernism to Midland and creating over 100 structures there\, Dow inspired numerous architects\, designers and builders to create modern and organic structures in this small city. From 1930 to 1970 over 430 individually designed MCM structures were created and have now been documented to share. \nFrom the beginning of his career Dow’s designs inspired freedom of thought and innovation. “Gardens never end and buildings never begin” is how he defined his own form of organic architecture\, seamlessly integrating nature and structure together. Please join us for a special\, free virtual opportunity to hear Craig McDonald\, Executive Director of the Alden B. Dow Home and Studio talk about what influenced Dow\, his body of work\, and the legacy of Mid-Twentieth Century Modern Architecture he initiated.

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:Art Deco Outside of the Loop
DESCRIPTION:A continuation of last year’s popular program that looked at Chicago Art Deco buildings outside of downtown. \nThis program explores the city’s far north and northwest sides and provides an in-depth look at a variety of Art Deco structures\, including both residential and commercial buildings\, as well as a college\, a bridge\, and a mausoleum. Some are well-preserved city landmarks; some sport bold polychromatic terra cotta facades\, the likes of which are not seen downtown. But all of them have striking geometric ornamentation that reflected the optimism and prosperity of the Roaring 20s and that is still eye-catching today. \nProgram Presenter: Bill Coffin \nBill Coffin is a former appellate attorney and adjunct professor of legal research and writing\, Bill Coffin became a CAC docent in 2004. He is the tour director for the CAC‘s two Art Deco walking tours and has presented lectures about Art Deco at the CAC and the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute\, a program of Northwestern University’s School of Professional Studies. He enjoys sharing photos of Art Deco buildings with friends from his travels to cities big and small all across the country.

SUMMARY:Roots of Reform: A Woman’s Place is…?
DESCRIPTION:Early Chicago female reformers left a legacy that influences public policy and social justice activism to this day. Join us as we explore their place… where they lived\, worked\, and made a difference in Chicago through the safety net they wove. \nIt’s important in Chicago to recognize the contributions of women to social\, economic\, and educational reforms for urban development. Focusing on their work from 1870 – 1920 (BEFORE they had the vote)\, we consider where and how these women laid the foundations of reforms that support Chicago’s vibrant and diverse communities through local\, state\, and national policies that continue to this day. \nABOUT THE PROGRAM PRESENTER\nCAC docent Catherine Thomson is a professional property manager and an avid social justice activist. She is also one-half of HERstory\, a duo of women honoring the achievements of women through musical storytelling programs such as The 19th Amendment and the Power of the Vote\, Trailblazing Female Firsts\, and debuting March 9th\, A Century of Songwriting Sisters. Catherine celebrates HERstory every day\, but during Women’s History Month\, it is a delight to dig deep into the roots of reform and the Chicago women who cultivated them.

SUMMARY:A Mecca of Midcentury Modernism: Alen B. Dow Residential Designs in Midland\, Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Midcentury modern design is still as present and popular as it was when it first appeared on the scene. By taking this virtual tour of Midland\, Michigan\, you’ll learn about the impact of Alden B. Dow on modernist design with breathtaking examples from his home and studio. \nNever heard of architect Alden B. Dow? That’s not surprising. None of his designs are in Chicago or anywhere in Illinois. Yet\, he started designing modernist homes in the early 1930s before Mies van der Rohe came to the U.S. Dow was influenced by his apprenticeship with Frank Lloyd Wright and just as Frank Lloyd Wright did\, Dow’s Home and Studio expressed his design ideas. This presentation will showcase some of Dow’s residences in Midland\, Michigan.
