SPG goes to CAB: program + social
Chicago Cultural Center, 78 East Washington Street or 79 East Randolph Street, Claudia Cassidy Theater, 2nd floor
Join the Small Practitioners Group (SPG) for a Chicago Architecture Biennial evening.
First we will go to the Chicago Cultural Center for “Polis Station,” a presentation by Jeanne Gang, FAIA, and others on Studio Gang’s research and reimagining of the police station, exhibited at the Chicago Architecture Biennial as “Polis Station” on the first floor of the Cultural Center. Jeanne has convened a panel of community leaders, policing strategists, developers, and architects in a discussion of how design could help build trust between citizens and police.
After the talk, we’ll walk two blocks to Mr. Brown’s Lounge on East Wacker Place between Michigan Avenue and Wabash Avenue for refreshments and socializing. (We’ll each pay our own expenses.)
The theater is likely to fill up, so don't delay in reserving your ticket! Click here to register. *
