The Cast Hall at the ICAA’s headquarters at 20 West 44th Street is a treasure trove of inspiration! This unique space houses a collection of 19th-century plaster casts of Classical, Renaissance, and Baroque sculptures and architectural features. It’s the perfect setting for our recent break-out session that beautifully concluded our inspiring College of Chapters Weekend. #ICAA #CastHall #ArchitecturalInspiration #PlasterCastCollection #TraditionalArchitecture #ArtAndDesign #ICAAEvents #weekendoflearning (fb)

JOIN US for a NEW EVENT!! 🌟🌟 Frank Lloyd Wright & the Architects of Steinway Hall The Chicago-Midwest Chapter of the ICAA is pleased to partner with the Benjamin Marshall Society for the upcoming Virtual Event "Frank Lloyd Wright & the Architects of Steinway Hall" with our guest speaker, Stuart Cohen of Cohen & Hacker Architects. In 1897, Frank Lloyd Wright, Robert Spencer, Dwight Perkins and Myron Hunt, all good friends, moved in together in the loft office space at the top of Steinway Hall, a building Dwight Perkins had designed. They were all about the same age and were all early in the development of their independent architectural practices. They collaborated on projects together and participated in the Chicago Architectural Club, the Chicago Arts and Crafts Society, and the vibrant architectural culture that characterized the profession in Chicago at the beginning of the last century. Together in Steinway Hall they shared in the development of ideas that would impact twentieth century architecture. Stuart Cohen, architect, educator, and author of Frank L. Wright and the Architects of Steinway Hall: A Study in Collaboration, will discuss the time these men spent together and the creative “collaborative circle” they formed. Date:​Thursday, February 17, 2022 Time:​ 6:00pm – 7:00 pm Location: Zoom Presentation Follow the link in our bio to register! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/255581791017 (fb)
