It is well-known in Chicago for its public programs. . It's devoted to advancing public interest and education in architecture and design. And it's very impressive. Instead of running the occasional little self-important exhibition it has set up a series of tourist tours. In July there are never fewer than three architecture tours every day and at the weekends nine. Tours are about everything: Carson Pine & Scott, FLW FLW Frank Lloyd Wright FLW Forrest L Wood (fishing tournament) FLW Fort Leonard Wood (US Army) FLW Famous Last Words FLW Four Letter Word FLW Final Weight , Modern Skyscrapers, Historic Skyscrapers, Lakefront by Bike, that kind of thing. It has two shops, 400 volunteers, and it runs lectures, events and a programme of not so little exhibitions. For architectural tourists to the US, Chicago is a must and so too this excellent site. |
