The State of The Art - Chicago Architectural Club Journal #12

The latest edition of the Chicago Architectural Club Journal is an attempt to evaluate the way we think, produce and develop architecture in a time of change and of challenges to both the discipline and practice of architecture. This edition contains detailed documentation of the work produced as part of the Burnham 2.0 exhibition, as well as an exhaustive compliation of over 150 entries from the 2008 Burnham Prize Competition and the 2010 Chicago Prize Competition, as well as essays from former Chicago Architectural Club presidents Romina Canna and David Goodman. At once a catalogue of two years´activity and a relection on the future of architectural practice, this book presents a series of alternative visions of Chicago´s future, and of the role of the architect in shaping it.
