Panel Discussion at the Arts Club: We Built this City

  • The Arts Club of Chicago 201 East Ontario Street Chicago, IL, 60611 United States (map)

You are invited to We Built this City, a lively panel discussion that explores how cities are created.

A panel of experts from the disciplines of architecture, construction, media and culture will chronicle the development of Chicago from historic to contemporary times, focusing on the contribution Irish people have made to the city’s built and cultural fabric.

A short film by Dyehouse Films, commissioned for We Built this City, will be screened as an introduction to the discussion.

A full line up will be released at the end of October. For updates please check out : www.architecturefoundation.ie or www.designchicago.org.

We Built this City is presented by the Irish Architecture Foundation in collaboration with Irish Design 2015 (ID2015) and the Office of the Minister for Diaspora Affairs of Ireland. This event is in partnership with ChiDM. ID2015 is an initiative backed by the Irish Government celebrating and promoting Irish design in Ireland and internationally.
