Birthplace of the skyscraper, home of the tallest building in the world, why does innovative design flourish in Chicago? Join us in exploring a century of Chicago's internationally acclaimed architecture, development, & urban design with SKYLINE: CHICAGO. Part I: CHICAGO'S RIVERFRONT: WHERE THE PRESENT MEETS THE PAST. How has riverfront design reflected the changing role of the Chicago River? Chicago is here because the river is here. Once the commercial lifeblood for a nineteenth century boomtown, the Chicago River became a neglected back alleyway & industrial cesspool. But today it has been reborn as an object of civic pride, an irreplaceable natural resource that enhances the entire city. Here, old brick warehouses exist side-by-side with a collection of stunning modern architecture, telling a fascinating story of Chicago's changing economic, social, & aesthetic needs. Listen to noted architects William Pedersen, Adrian Smith, Kevin Roche & others discuss their work as we learn about the shaping of this great metropolis. Upcoming programs include: Part II: The Loop- Where the Skyscraper Began, Part III: Michigan Avenue- From Museums to the Magnificent Mile, Part IV: The Lakefront- Plans & Parks, Part V: Chicago- A City of Neighborhoods.
