Met with "unequivocal success", as described by Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel, the Chicago Architecture Biennial will be back in fall 2017. The Chicago Cultural Center had a bustling three months serving as the venue of the inaugural Chicago Architecture Biennial, "The State of the Art of Architecture", which ran from October 3-January 3.
While the content of the Biennial itself is up for debate, the event attracted over 500,000 attendees. Students, educators, architects, and the general public got to check out exhibitions, full-scale installations like those from the Lakefront Kiosk Competition, and a slew of public programs.
There isn't much about the 2017 event just yet, but official dates, leadership, and the Biennial's theme will be revealed in the coming months. Stay tuned.
