To Members of the Chicago Chapter of Society of Architectural Historians,
We are presenting, with Glessner House and the Cliff Dwellers, a lecture by Warren Ashworth, author of We, the House.
In 1833 Chicago, balloon framing was an invention whose time had come. Warren Ashworth, co-author of We, the House, will explore the roots of this innovation and discuss how, by 1850, it had rapidly become the primary method of construction from Illinois westward, without which the history of this country would be much different. Ashworth will also weave in the story of one such house, Ambleside, built by his great-grandfather on the Kansas prairie in 1878. That house is the protagonist of the historical novel We, the House. If time permits, the authors will do a brief dramatic reading.
The authors of the book are Warren Ashworth and his wife, Susan Kander. Ashworth is an architect, an architectural historian and professor, and a carpenter who has built both timber-framed and stick-framed structures. He has designed, over the years, five restaurants in Chicago. Kander is a composer and librettist whose latest opera, dwb (driving while black), premiered in 2020. We, the House is their first novel. Both live in New York City.
Co-sponsored by the Chicago Chapter SAH and the Cliff Dwellers.
The program will be recorded, and all attendees will receive a link afterwards which will remain active for seven days.
Here is the link to register. https://www.glessnerhouse.org/programs/2022/04/05/if-this-house-could-talk

Streamliner: How Raymond Loewy Streamlined His Persona and American Industrial Design
Raymond Loewy was one of America’s greatest industrial designers, enjoying a career that spanned from the 1920s to the 1970s. He started his design career in America as an illustrator for magazines, soon establishing himself as one of the premier Art Deco artists working in New York. Within a few years, Loewy felt a desire to branch out into designing products and began his industrial design career with a Deco makeover of a duplicating machine. John Wall, author of “Streamliner,” a Loewy biography, will take us through Loewy’s early Art Deco designs and trace the influence of that movement into later designs such as locomotives and a ferry for the Pennsylvania Railroad, and Sears Coldspot refrigerators. Wall’s program will also introduce the audience to Loewy’s groundbreaking work with Studebaker and International Harvester, and his corporate logos and other work.About the PresenterJohn Wall is the author of Streamliner: Raymond Loewy and Imagemaking in the Age of American Industrial Design, published by Johns Hopkins University Press in 2018 and due out this year in paperback. Wall started his career as a journalist, and more recently worked for over two decades as a media relations professional at Penn State University’s College of Agricultural Sciences and at Juniata College. As a journalist, he reported on advertising and design, sparking an interest in Loewy’s work, which eventually resulted in authoring Streamliner. Wall is currently retired in Altoona, Pa., where he lives with his wife, Sharon. $11/ADSW Member, $16/Non-MemberMonday, February 21, 20226:30 PM EDT Register Now!

Pre-registration is required to attend. Please register here. The building of performing arts centers in America from the mid-1950s until the early 1970s represents a significant architectural movement to rejuvenate major cities that had fallen stagnant after World War II. The Milwaukee Center for the Performing Arts, designed by architect Harry Weese and constructed between 1966 and 1969, is one example of how the building of a performing arts center became a means by which regional leaders, architects, and engineers sought to reconcile disparate economic, social, and civic priorities through design. Considering the origins of this performing arts center project, its design program, and its effects on Milwaukee and its communities, this talk explores how the architecture of the Milwaukee Center for the Performing Arts reflects larger ambitions of urban and cultural redevelopment within postwar America.  4) Annual Meeting / Directors’ NightSAVE THE DATE: Monday, March 7, 2022 — 7:00pmPresented via ZoomStay tuned for full program forthcoming!NE/SAH on InstagramFollow us on Instagram, where we regularly showcase beautiful images of our region’s architecture: instagram.com/newengland_sah/  |

Living Among Landmarks: The Olmsted Legacy in Chestnut Hill
A Conversation and Exhibit
Wednesday, April 6, 2022 at 7:00 pm
Springside Chestnut Hill Academy Middle School
8000 Cherokee Street
2022 is the bicentennial of Frederick Law Olmsted—a leading cultural figure of his time and founder of the profession of landscape architecture as we know it and as it is practiced today.
Olmsted’s personal career and the practice that was his legacy flourished for more than one hundred years. He and his successors worked in virtually every state and large city in America. In Philadelphia and surrounding communities the firm secured commissions for nearly two hundred projects. At least forty of these were for clients in Chestnut Hill. Beginning in 1897, this work spanned forty years.
April 26, 2022 is Olmsted’s 200th birthday. As part of the national celebration, Chestnut Hill Conservancy will host an evening symposium, “Living among Landmarks: The Olmsted Legacy in Chestnut Hill,” featuring a conversation among current-day owners of homesteads and gardens designed by his successors in the firm of Olmsted Brothers, Landscape Architects. Olmsted biographer Witold Rybczynski will introduce the program. Before and after his remarks and the panel discussion, the audience will have access to a pin-up display of photos and plans of all the known projects from the Olmsted Brothers’ decades of involvement in Chestnut Hill.
Please note: this is an in-person event. Attendees will be asked to show proof of vaccination and wear a mask during the event. If the city changes its Covid restrictions, it may be switched to a virtual format.

Ransford Professor of Middle Eastern, South Asian, and African Studies at Columbia University) CFPs Cities as Archives: Historical Stratigraphies and Visual Cultures of the Built Environment across the Horn of Africa, East Africa and Regions Beyond Submission deadline: March 1, 2022 The panel seeks to shed new light on cities as archives of past encounters exposing historical layers through the visual cultures pertaining to the built environment of hubs of exchange in the Horn of Africa, East Africa, and connected regions. It interrogates marine networks and interrelations with the hinterland expressed in the built environment, considering both land and sea routes as spaces of artistic transmission. The unique position of these cities enables a discussion of mobility, and artistic entanglements across different temporalities and geographies. It also provides insights into transcultural and transnational connections, and colonial appropriations of the networks in which these cities are embedded. We invite respondents to consider the following: building typologies, the use of language when describing spaces and their construction, city morphology, mobility of construction workers, exchanges of buildings techniques, importation and exportation of materials, and fauna and flora ecological exchanges in urban spaces. Please send your proposal to: Vera-Simone Schulz: vera-simone.schulz@khi.fi.it Suha Hasan: suha.hasan@abe.kth.se The Progressive City: Wright & his Chicago Contemporaries Submission deadline: March 16, 2022 Chicago around 1900 was a laboratory of progressive reforms and Wright, during these years, was part of group of designers and activists increasingly alarmed by crippling widespread social inequality, public health crises, and lack of access to education, nature and affordable housing. The United States, and the Midwest in particular, was experiencing explosive growth due to the rise of industrial capitalism following the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair. The Progressive movement sought to provide better living conditions for all classes of society. The breadth of progressive reforms imagined often led to ambitious urban planning schemes. The 1893 Fair, for example, offered an alternative vision of modern cities that incorporated numerous infrastructural innovations, spaces for recreation and rationalized circulation patterns, among many improvements, later taken up by Daniel Burnham in his 1909 Plan of Chicago. Wright, together with his progressive peers, explored various planning schemes, from coordinated suburban blocks to neighborhood units, that countered the monumentality of the City Beautiful with a smaller-scale approach echoing the Garden City movement. Other interventions included the construction of playgrounds, parks, recreation centers and public schools across the city, while environmentalists founded conservation groups and designed landscapes sensitive to local ecologies. Please submit proposals online at savewright.org/proposals. Notification will be sent in early April 2022. Grants/Fellowships The Architectural League of New York, Independent Projects Grants Application deadline: Apr. 13, 2022 The Architecture + Design Independent Projects grant program is a partnership between the New York State Council on the Arts and The Architectural League of New York, awarding grants for New York State-based individuals and teams to explore a design topic through creation or research. In the 2022 cycle, this program will award 18 grants of $10,000 to proposals in design fields, including architecture, landscape architecture, historic preservation, community-centered design, fashion, graphic, industrial, and interior design. SAH American Architecture and Landscape Field Trip Grants Application deadline: June 1, 2022 The SAH American Architecture and Landscape Field Trip grant program funds awe-inspiring architectural and landscape field trips for students in grades 3–12 from under-resourced communities. To provide students with firsthand experiences and hands-on knowledge about the history of the built environment, SAH partners with nonprofit organizations throughout the U.S. that offer youth design education programs and docent-led tours of architecture, parks, gardens, neighborhoods, and town/city centers. SAH welcomes applications from a wide variety of nonprofits including architectural and cultural heritage organizations, house museums, creative placemaking sites, schools of architecture with youth outreach programs, and arts and architecture high schools. Priority will be given to community-based educational programs that focus on marginalized histories that reflect the lived experiences of students and foster meaningful engagement with the built environment in which they live. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Notification of grant awards will be made within six weeks. Open Positions McHarg Fellowship, University of Pennsylvania Application deadline: Feb. 28, 2022, 5 pm ET The McHarg Fellowship is a new $75,000 award given by the McHarge Center for Urbanism and Ecology to an emerging voice in landscape architecture and its related fields. The Fellowship will be awarded competitively on an annual basis and the fellow is expected to be in residence at Weitzman (in Philadelphia) full-time for one academic year from the beginning of the Fall semester (August) through to the end of the Spring semester (May) in the following year. The purpose of the Fellowship is to create a breakthrough opportunity for an emerging professional and/or academic, who would benefit most from support to conduct research, to teach, and to be mentored by faculty over the term of the fellowship.
