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.
