About the program
Presented by the University of Illinois at Chicago’s Department of Architecture, the Concrete Culture conference situates Chicago’s concrete architecture within contemporary international dialogues by illuminating the material’s cultural significance, as well as its chemical, ecological, and tectonic capacities for shaping our urban futures.
The first day’s session examines Chicago’s concrete legacy, exploring iconic buildings, influential figures, and cultural narratives that have defined the city’s built environment.
Registration is not required.
