DIGGING DEEPER: FOUNDATIONS OF CHICAGO ARCHITECTURE-VIRTUAL EVENT ON ZOOM!

When constructing a tall Chicago building, before you build up, you have to dig down. Some of the first problems pioneering Chicago architects had to deal with were the conditions uncovered when they dug into the city’s swampy, muddy soil.

In addition to the physical foundations, this program discusses the many ways young builders of the early “Chicago School” had to innovate to create & invent the tall commercial building. We will uncover the amazing stories of buildings, old & new, & the giants of design & engineering who built them. Program presented by author Dave Clark.
