Excursion

The workshop excursion is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon. We will begin the excursion with a visit to Chicago's Millennium Park and then continue with a bus tour of the architectural highlights of Chicago led by a docent from the Chicago Architecture Foundation. After the bus tour we then board Chicago's First Lady for a river cruise looking at the city from a different angle. Chicago is the home of the modern skyscraper building and in this tour you will see buildings that are the first to ever use a steel superstructure for support. You will see examples of the transition from masonry supported structures to the modern glass and steel structures that dominate business districts throughout the world today. The buses will return to the hotels at 6:00 pm. The excursion is included in the participant registration fee and is open to companions and vendors for an additional fee. Lunch will be provided.
