Special Friday

Today kicks off the 6th annual Great Chicago Places and Spaces weekend with Great Conversations, a "lively conversation on the most distinguished award given to living architects [Pritzker Architecture Prize]". Featuring Frank Gehry, Bill Lacy, Stanley Tigerman, and hosted by Bill Kurtis, the free conversation begins at 6:30pm at the Art Institute with seating on a first-come, first-served basis.



If that's not your cup of tea, head up to Ravenswood for the grand opening of Architectural Artifacts new 80,000 s.f. space, featuring sale items, drinks, music, and a photography exhibition documenting the expansion by Doug Fogelson. Festivities start at 6pm at 4325 N. Ravenswood in Chicago (Thanks to Brandon P. for the heads up on this one).



The fine people at Architectural Artifacts.

Also, to accompany you on this weekend of Chicago places and spaces, Lynn Becker at Repeat compares two recently-updated guides: Chicago's Famous Buildings by Franz Shulze and Kevin Harrington and the AIA Guide to Chicago, edited by Alice Sinkevitch.
