Edith Farnsworth House, Architecture, Preservation, Culture Book Launch and Panel Discussion

  • Chicago Architecture Center 111 East Wacker Drive Chicago, IL, 60601 United States (map)

Join us with the Chicago Architecture Center and Illinois Institute of Technology’s College of Architecture for a compelling book launch, panel discussion, and reading from Edith Farnsworth’s memoirs.

Learn more from the author, Michelangelo Sabatino, professor, director of Ph.D. program in Architecture, and the inaugural John Vinci Distinguished Research Fellow, as well as a panel of distinguished speakers, including Mies’ grandson, Trustee Emeritus, and architect Dirk Lohan, FAIA, Lee Bey, and Elizabeth Blasius. While arguments are elemental to architecture, their histories may fade. Be enlightened with a reading on topic by architect of note, Jeannie Gang, founding partner of Studio Gang. Refreshments will be served. This is a ticketed event.
