SUMMARY:LEGO & Libations with a Tour of the Wild Mile
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a very special adult LEGO workshop that includes a tour of The Wild Mile along the Chicago River and then partake in a hands-on LEGO & Libations workshop. \nBring a friend\, grab a drink and enjoy a hands-on workshop where you’ll think like a designer and bring your special nature-focused LEGO creation to life. All LEGO materials will be provided. One workshop registration includes one (1) draft beer ticket and one (1) pass for a future visit to the CAC. \nHosted by the CAC\, Urban Rivers and Off Color Brewing\, this unique workshop combines nature\, libations and LEGO in a fun and engaging way. \nThe Wild Mile is the flagship project of nonprofit Urban Rivers. It is a floating ecopark that takes a wildlife-first approach to public greenspace. Off Color Brewing is an American craft beer brewery and was founded to focus on brewing forgotten styles of beer. \nThe Wild Mile is ADA-accessible\, and participants should be prepared to walk and stand for about half an hour along the river. \nThe program begins with a tour of the Wild Mild and ends at Off Color Brewing Taproom The Mousetrap. \nMeeting point: The Wild Mile\, 905 W Eastman St\, Chicago\, IL 60642 \nEnd point: Off Color Brewing Taproom The Mousetrap\, 1460 N Kingsbury St\, Chicago\, IL 60642 \nThe CAC firmly believes that everyone should have the opportunity to discover why design matters. Should the registration fee be a barrier to your participation in this program\, we invite you to please contact us at CACLearning@architecture.org to apply for a partial or full scholarship.

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.
