Chicago Model City

  • Burnhamphoto_large

As the city celebrates the centennial of Daniel Burnham's Plan of Chicago (if you don't think it's brilliant, try navigating a metropolis that's not laid out on a grid), the Chicago Architecture Foundation opens an exhibition highlighting the city's history, infrastructure, geography, and future. The show, designed to be a permanent fixture at CAF, is divided into five sections that explore Chicago as global, connected, green, beautiful, and new. Photographs, maps, videos, and a huge scale model of the Loop are all incorporated to help viewers grasp the intricacies of urban planning.

Note:

An RSVP for the opening reception is suggested, but not required.
