There is no doubt that Chicago is a center of architectural innovation with a history rich in urban design and preservation.  From the world’s first skyscraper, the Home Insurance Building,  built in 1885 to the World’s Columbian Exposition in 1893 to Daniel Burnham’s Plan for Chicago, the City boasts architectural gems around every corner … Navy Pier, Monadnock, Wrigley, Tribune, and the list goes on.  Chicago continues to build some of the most innovative structures across the country.  Learn more about Chicago’s architectural history and how it is influencing design across the globe at Thursday’s session “From Chicago to the World: A Review of Chicago’s Architectural History and the Lessons for Global Projects of Tomorrow”, from 1:45 pm – 3:00 pm at the Fall Meeting.
