October through January in Chicago—the first architectural biennial in U.S. history.
"Architects from more than 30 countries are preparing to descend upon Chicago for the inaugural Chicago Architecture Biennial, titled 'The State of the Art of Architecture,'" reports Will Speros. Even before the event gets started, the Biennial is of historic significance, according to Speros: "It will be not only the first architecture biennial in U.S. history but also the largest assembly of international architects ever in North America."
The event held at the Chicago Cultural Center from October 3, 2015, to January 3, 2016. Chicago landmarks like Millennium Park and the Chicago Water Tower will showcase exhibitions. Even organizers have also recently announced a full list of participants.
