journal: general information
The year 2000 saw the return of the Chicago Architectural Club Journal after an 11-year hiatus. Issues of the past were important at the time as an expression of the energy and ambitions of the architectural community and are important now as markers. Like a diary, they recorded not only the highlights, but the day-to-day workings of the architectural community. They cut across many careers, generations, and polemics to provide a window onto the exciting plurality of ideas and work. They were also a log of the activities of the Architectural Club, giving a sense of the issues that were in the air at the time and capturing the architectural scene. Journals 9 and 10 represent our efforts to continue the tradition and give a strong sense of what Chicago Architecture is about now.
The Club is pleased to be able to revive this book devoted to the work of Chicago architects; there are few publications that include the breadth of current local architecture represented here.
Chicago Architecture Club Journals 9 and 10 are currently available from:
Chicago area Borders
Prairie Avenue Books:
