The Iconic House and Its Continuing Influence Presented in Partnership With AIA Chicago and its Custom Residential Architects Network The Chopping Block, Suite 107 2:30-4 p.m. Presentation 4-4:30 p.m. Reception hosted by Pella Crafted Luxury For most of recorded history, the history of architecture has been, in large part, the history of the house. Some houses are so memorable, or connect so strongly to our ideas of domesticity, that they have become iconic, influencing subsequent generations of designers. Iconic houses have widespread appeal based on culturally determined ideas and forms which they embody, idealize, and often transcend. Five residential architects and academics will briefly discuss the houses that have most influenced their architectural thinking and their built work. Their presentations will be followed by a moderated panel discussion. After the presentation, Pella Crafted Luxury will host a reception for panelists and attendees to mingle, enjoy food and drink, and continue their conversation. Moderator: • Julie Hacker FAIA. Cohen & Hacker Architects LLC Panelists: • Stuart Cohen FAIA. Cohen & Hacker Architects LLC • Tom Shafer AIA. Thomas Shafer Architects • Michael Graham AIA. Liederbach and Graham Architects • Margaret McCurry FAIA. Tigerman McCurry Architects • Kevin Toukoumidis AIA. dSPACE Studio Ltd. This program qualifies for 1.5 AIA continuing education credits.
