Description

The twin masts of Baxter Travenol (now Baxter International) are an iconic landmark along the Edens expressway (I-94). Located in north suburban Deerfield, the campus is anchored by the Central Facilities Building, whose cable-stayed roof provides column-free interiors for the company’s social hub. Beyond, a series of office pavilions and parking garages radiate out into a rolling bucolic landscape.

 The 1972 design of Baxter was a collaboration between SOM engineer Fazlur Khan and architect Bruce Graham, the legendary team who were also designing the John Hancock Center and the Sears Tower at the same time. While the better-known towers in downtown Chicago achieved new heights, Baxter was an exercise in creating horizontal space, described by architecture critic Zach Mortice as a “legendary synthesis of architecture and engineering” that captured – and respected the spirit of the prairie around it.

Baxter, like many other corporate campuses, has been rendered vulnerable by e-commerce, information technology, and the logistics sector. The future of the Baxter campus is uncertain, but its modular flexibility makes it ideal for adaptive reuse.

Join architectural historian and journalist Elizabeth Blasius for a deep dive into the history and design of the Baxter campus, an exploration of other corporate campuses in Chicago, and an intriguing look at adaptive reuse possibilities for this distinctive building typology.

This presentation is part of Docomomo US Tour Day, an annual celebration of modern architecture and design across the country.

Edgar Miller (artist, craftsperson, curator, designer, illustrator) is probably best known for his "handmade homes" throughout Old Town and Lincoln Park. Paradoxically, Miller was aware of the rise of modern design and collaborated with Modernist architects; yet his own work reveals an individual unconcerned with trends, labels, or the tenets of modern art.

The DePaul Art Museum is mounting a new exhibition that explores all facets of Miller's career. Join exhibition curator and Docomomo US/Chicago Board member Dr. Marin R. Sullivan for a lively and insightful exploration of Edgar Miller's complex relationship to modern design.

Afterwards, we’ll continue the conversation at the Red Lion Pub located two blocks away, at 2446 N. Lincoln Ave. Cash bar, plenty of good company, and a chance to geek out with fellow Edgar Miller enthusiasts.

Space is limited for this tour. There is no admission charge to visit the DePaul Art Museum. Ticket sales for this tour help support Docomomo’s ongoing mission to celebrate modern design in Chicago.

Please join us for Docomomo Chicago’s annual meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 17th

Established in 1958 in the city’s central business district, the Chicago Loop Synagogue designed by Loebl, Schlossman and Bennett has primarily served office workers for much of its history. Its sculptures and monumental wall of stained glass breaks the reserved minimalism of the sanctuary, leading one critic to describe it as "perhaps the most beautiful synagogue interior in the United States." Our meeting will include board member elections and a recap of last year's chapter activities and how you can get involved in our future activities. The second part of the meeting will be dedicated to touring and discussing the Loop Synagogue. Considering the Synagogue’s reduction in membership in the last thirty years we will consider the developmental risks and challenges while we observe the modern assets of the building and rooftop.

Make your reservation HERE

Members and non-members alike are welcome. If you're curious about getting more involved with Docomomo - or have friends, colleagues, neighbors, or relatives who are - bring them along and stop on by!

Drinks and light snacks will be provided. The annual meeting will be held at the Chicago Loop Synagogue, starting in the second floor main sanctuary. Please RSVP by Tuesday, Sept 10th.

Join Docomomo US/Chicago to celebrate the end of summer at one of Chicagoland’s architectural masterpieces, the Avery Coonley house, located in the western suburb of Riverside.

Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and completed in 1912, the Coonley house (and nearby Playhouse) are examples of Prairie School architecture and are a precursor to “organic modernism” in America. The Village of Riverside, a National Historic Landmark, was designed in 1869 by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, as one of America’s first planned suburbs.

Join us for lunch and drinks outdoors followed by tours of the house by the proud homeowners. The event is free to Docomomo US members as thanks for your ongoing support (1 guest allowed per member).

Join Docomomo US/Chicago at S. R. Crown Hall to view the complete archive of drawings by Arthur Takeuchi, courtesy of the Takeuchi family. Several former colleagues of Takeuchi will gather to discuss details of the drawings, moderated by IIT Professor Michael Glynn.

Arthur Takeuchi was a professor for over 50 years at the Illinois Institute of Technology, College of Architecture, where he studied under Mies van der Rohe and later taught multiple generations of architects, including Ron Krueck, David Hovey, and Dirk Denison. Takeuchi was a prolific architect, first at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, where he worked as a project architect on the Richard J. Daley Center (formerly the Chicago Civic Center, designed by Jacques Brownson of C.F. Murphy Associates), and later in his own practice, where he designed the Modular Schools for Chicago Public Schools, an early example of prefabricated modular design. Drawings for these projects and dozens more will be available for viewing and discussion.

Please RSVP here

Join us for a special tour of North Shore Congregation Israel, designed by architect Minoru Yamasaki in 1963. Set on the bluffs overlooking Lake Michigan, this synagogue embodies Yamasaki’s New Formalist vision: its monumental, reinforced concrete vaults simultaneously evoke Gothic structural forms, while its materials and detailing are clearly modern. The voids between the concrete shells are filled with clear and colored glass, creating an interior described by Yamasaki himself as "a confluence of daylight and solids." In 1979, architect Thomas Beeby designed a small sanctuary addition. This Postmodern cylinder encloses a cubic sanctuary with gilded walls and echoes of classical architecture.

Join us for a tour of Crow Island School, completed in 1940 and considered the first modern elementary school in the United States. Crow Island's innovative design was was the result of a collaboration between progressive educators and an all-star design team including Perkins, Wheeler and Will; Eliel, Eero, and Loja Saarinen; and Lilian Swann.

With its modern materials, low scale, connection to the outdoors, and child-scaled interiors, Crow Island School redefined elementary school design and led to more than 500 school commissions for its architects. Crow Island School received the AIA Twenty-Five Year Award in 1971, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2008.

The tour will be lead by a team of Crow Island School docents, including author and historian Laurie Petersen, editor of the AIA Guide to Chicago

Throughout October, Docomomo US/Chicago will be exploring the legacy of urban renewal.

The University of Illinois at Chicago Circle was created between 1963 and 1968 as an “instant campus” in response to major growth in college enrollment following WWII.  Its Brutalist design by Walter Netsch and SOM became a nationally recognized model for other campuses across the country, even as it displaced thousands of neighborhood residents and sparked local grassroots protests through its program of urban renewal. This tour will start and conclude at the famed School of Architecture and include visits to the buildings and spaces at UIC that have delighted and frustrated users since the day they opened.

Our tour will be led by Judith K. De Jong. Judith is an architect, urban designer, and Associate Professor of Architecture at the University of Illinois Chicago whose work investigates the reciprocating relationships between architecture and the city. De Jong’s interest in the future of the Netsch Campus at UIC, combined with her role as Associate Dean of CADA from 2014-2022, produced a pair of exhibitions at Gallery 400, co-curated by Lorelei Stewart, and led to the University’s 2019 international design competition for a Center for the Arts at UIC, won by OMA/KOO.

Throughout October, Docomomo US/Chicago will be exploring the legacy of urban renewal.

On Sunday, October 1, we’ll explore one of the most peculiar chapters in Chicago transportation and urban renewal history.  North Ogden Avenue was once a major arterial street that was extended from Union Park to Lincoln Park at enormous expense and disruption in the 1930s. Thirty years later, the City changed their mind and began closing and redeveloping the Ogden Avenue footprint in stages starting in 1967.

In addition to some of the best remaining 1970s-era streetscapes in Chicago, this tour will see the exterior of the former home of Skidmore Owings & Merrill partner Walter Netsch and Dawn Clark Netsch, the first female gubernatorial candidate in Illinois. Other notable modernist architects building single-family homes on the former right-of-way of Ogden Avenue including Stanley Tigerman and Larry Booth.

The tour will be led by Patrick Steffes, Docomomo Chicago board member and a founding member of Forgotten Chicago. Patrick has lectured and led several tours for Docomomo Chicago, including the highly-popular tour of Peterson Avenue. More information and registration HERE.

Join Docomomo US/Chicago for a tour of Modern houses in the southern suburbs of Chicagoland.

This house tour focuses on Chicagoland Communities with exceptional Midcentury Modern Architecture. The 2023 Rally will focus on Modernist Houses in the south suburban railroad commuter communities of Flossmoor and Olympia Fields. These communities became an area of progressive experimentation for many of the leading modernist architects of the 50’s and 60’s from Keck and Keck and Edward Dart to Bertrand Goldberg. The Rally will showcase 12 exemplary houses, many of which received design awards and have been included in period periodicals and books as well as recent publications illustrating their individual importance and the collective significance of this unique enclave of modernist architecture. This year, we are partnering with the Foundation for the Preservation of Flossmoor History, and a portion of proceeds will go towards the restoration of the historic Wagner Building, scheduled to open for Flossmoor’s Centennial in 2024.  

The event kicks off at Conservatory Vintage & Vinyl in the charming downtown of Flossmoor where you’ll pick up your event map and complimentary swag bag. Once you have your map, which includes architectural information for each home, it’s time to hit the road either in your own vehicle or hop on one of two dedicated trolleys. Please note that trolley service is included in your ticket price but must be reserved when you purchase your tickets.

After the rally, come party like it’s 1959 at a post-event party get-together hosted at Flossmoor Station Restaurant and Brewer, the former Flossmoor train station, c.1906. The Brew Caboose Tap Room will be servicing microbrews produced onsite, paired with delicious appetizers. 

You can purchase tickets to the tour, post-tour party, and sculpture tour at the Nate (see details below).

Modernism Road Rally event check-in will be available at the Conservatory Vintage & Vinyl to all paid attendees Friday June 23, 12:00 PM – 6:00 PM and Saturday June 24th, 8:00 AM – 3:00 PM. Advanced ticket purchase required,  no walk-up ticket sales available.

Details coming soon.

Throughout October, Docomomo US/Chicago will be exploring Chicagoland’s fascinating history of shopping malls through a walking tour and a pair of virtual presentations.

On Wednesday, October 26 at 6 p.m. CST, we’ll explore “The Modernism of Carson Pirie Scott & Company.” Chicago-based Carson’s is perhaps best known for their downtown Chicago flagship store designed in 1899 by Louis Sullivan (recently nicknamed the “Goth Target”). Less appreciated, however, is Carson Pirie Scott’s patronage of modern design. Arguably, no other post-World War II retailer in the US embraced modernist architecture and employed more high-profile architects than Carson’s. This presentation by Docomomo US/Chicago board member Patrick Steffes will cover Carson Pirie Scott’s unique place in Chicago retail and hospitality history, and its long legacy of commissioning innovative modern architecture visited by millions annually. More information and registration HERE.

Throughout October, Docomomo US/Chicago will be exploring Chicagoland’s fascinating history of shopping malls through a walking tour and a pair of virtual presentations. Join us on Saturday, October 8 at 1:00 p.m. CST for an in-person tour of three Michigan Avenue malls.

North Michigan Avenue, nicknamed the “Magnificent Mile,” began life as a 1920s luxury shopping district, was revitalized beginning in the 1970s, and faces an uncertain future as the very concept of retail evolves. On Saturday, October 8, we will explore three urban malls that shaped the Magnificent Mile into what it is today.

Water Tower Place, designed by Chicago architects Loebl, Schlossmann, Bennett and Dart in 1975, was downtown Chicago’s answer to sprawling suburban malls. Towering 47 stories above North Michigan Avenue, Water Tower Place had seven stories of retail, two flagship department stores, restaurants, cinemas, condominium residences, and a luxury hotel.

900 North Michigan, built in 1989 on the site of a much-loved apartment building, was designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox as an elegant exercise in restrained Postmodernism. Clad in limestone and granite and capped with four square lanterns, 900 North Michigan has a six-story atrium with stores and restaurants and upper stories of offices, a hotel, and condominiums.

North Bridge, opened in 2000, occupies an unusual site, with a mall atrium built on the air rights above Grand Avenue and leading from Michigan Avenue to the retail stores located one block west. North Bridge is also notable for dismantling the façade of a landmark Art Deco building and re-hanging the façade on a new building.

Join Docomomo US/Chicago to explore the history, design, evolution, and challenges facing each mall. The tour will be led by Justin Miller, architectural historian and Docomomo US/Chicago chapter chair. Following the tour, guests are invited to continue the conversation at Aster Hall with a cash bar.

Join us on Saturday, August 27th, for a tour of one of Chicago’s most distinctive churches.

Many architects know of the Louis Sullivan-designed Holy Trinity, a beautiful modest-sized Ukrainian cathedral in Chicago, but not many have visited the expansive St. Joseph the Betrothed Church near O’Hare. Ukrainian-born Zenon Mazurkevich, designed the cathedral, completed in 1977. Mazurkevich worked for Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, as well as SOM where he was involved with the design of the John Hancock Center. This unique structure is often described as the cathedral that is “part Ukrainian, part-modern, and part Mars”. Please join Docomomo US Chicago for a tour of this wonder of Chicagoland modernism. Register HERE.

$10/Docomomo US members; $30/non-members

All proceeds from the tour will be donated to the church's Support for Ukraine fund.

The hour-long tour will begin at 11am outside the south end of the church, and will be led by Andres Durbak, a long-time parish trustee who has been involved with the building ever since and including its construction in 1977. Following the tour, we encourage you to explore the neighborhood for lunch. There are several restaurants within a half-mile radius of the church.

Getting there:

The church is just south of the I-90 exit ramp, and can be access via the CTA Blue Line stop at Cumberland with a 30 min walk south down Cumberland, or a transfer to either buses 331 or 81W.

Midcentury art and architecture are too often studied separately. In the case of Roger Brown and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, the cultural influences and societal undercurrents acting on these great Chicago Modernists brought their work closer together. Brown the artist and Mies the architect were towering figures in their respective practices—beacons of pure intention and masterful execution. Many of Brown’s paintings ruminate on buildings and contemporary cityscapes, and architecture was central to Brown and his life partner, George Veronda, an accomplished architect and designer. Not by accident, Mies’ restrained architectural compositions double as exceptional showcases for Modern art, in both residential and commercial contexts. This panel discussion provides fresh perspectives on the aesthetic interplay and philosophical crosscurrents that informed the careers of two of the 20th century’s most distinctive creative minds.

Panelists include:

Valerie Balint, Senior Program Manager, Historic Artists’ Homes and Studios Program, National Trust for Historic Preservation

David Mitchell, Director of Exhibitions, Kavi Gupta Gallery

Michelangelo Sabatino, Professor + Director, PhD Program in Architecture, Illinois Institute of Technology College of Architecture and Docomomo US Board member

Lisa Wainwright, Professor, Department of Art History, Theory and Criticism, School of the Art Institute of Chicago

This program is presented in partnership with the Edith Farnsworth House, where the exhibition Roger Brown and Miesian Metropolitanism, curated by Kavi Gupta Gallery and the Roger Brown Study Collection, is on view from August 7—November 27, 2022.

Roger Brown and Miesian Metropolitanism, an exhibition of Roger Brown’s work, is on view at the Farnswoth House from August 7th to November 22nd, 2022. The opening reception is on Sunday, August 7 from 2 to 5pm.

This exhibition will put their work side by side to provide a fresh perspective on the aesthetic interplay and philosophical crosscurrents that informed the careers of two of the 20th century’s most distinctive creative minds. This includes Brown’s piece, “Me’s Modern City: View from the Veronda,” INSIDE the Edith Farnsworth House!

Join us on Saturday, July 9, for a walking tour that explores the history and legacy of modern architecture and urban renewal in Hyde Park. (Note: this tour was originally scheduled for an earlier date but has been rescheduled to July 9.)
