2021 Vincent Scully Masterclass Series: See Like an Architect

Refine your eye for detail in this special series of programs hosted by notable Chicago designers. Held the first Tuesdays in March, April and May, See Like an Architect examines timeless fundamentals in conceiving and communicating architecture.

Three masterful, entertaining explorations of an architecture-informed worldview continue this series inspired by legendary professor, critic and author Vincent Joseph Scully, Jr. (1920−2017), who made his mark through more than 60 years of leading lectures at Yale University, inspiring countless students to pursue a wide variety of career paths. Even those with little to no interest in architecture were drawn to Scully’s courses, as he made learning about the built environment accessible, intoxicating and vital for everyone in the room.

 

See Like an Architect 01: Form and Composition -- A well-thought-through design makes its statement simply, seemingly without effort, yet demands deep knowledge about the nature of shapes and how they interact. Producing work beyond the ordinary takes nerve—plus an ability to focus the visitor’s attention with precision. Series host Reed Kroloff is joined in this investigation by guest designer Brad Lynch, partner and co-founder of Brininstool + Lynch.
