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 03: Proportion and Scale -- Reading buildings is often a study in interlocking relationships. Almost as if they have a sixth sense, architects can hone in on the triumphs (and faults) of designs and, more often than not, scale and proportion lie at the heart of the matter. As the Scully Series concludes, you’ll learn to break down and analyze designs like a seasoned architect. Series host Reed Kroloff is joined in this investigation by guest architect Carol Ross Barney, founder and design principal of Ross Barney Architects.
