We are planning excursions that will include an Architecture Tour Boat Trip on the Chicago River as well as an Architecture Bus Tour. There are also many excellent museums in Chicago including the Art Institute that is around the corner from the conference sight at CTI-DePaul located in downtown Chicago. The Museum of Contemporary Art and the Terra Museum of American Art are both within a few blocks of the Inn of Chicago. The new Frank Gehry complex is under construction and is within easy walking distance of CTI, as are many outdoor sculptures. Other nearby exhibit venues are the Chicago Cultural Center and the State of Illinois Gallery. The Archicenter, which features architectural exhibits related to the city, and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra are next door to the conference site. Registrants will receive a packet showing the many points of interest in Chicago. We recommend extending your stay in order to enjoy the sights.
