Chicago Architecture Biennial

THE AVAILABLE CITY

September 17th, 2021

The Italian American Chamber of Commerce Midwest is happy to invite you in taking part in the fourth edition of Chicago Architecture Biennial, dedicated to “THE AVAILABLE CITY”.

The 2021 edition is a framework for a collaborative, community-led design approach that presents transformative possibilities for vacant urban spaces that are created with and for local residents.

Biennial programming will take place across digital platforms and throughout Chicago in neighborhoods including North Lawndale, Woodlawn, Bronzeville, Pilsen, South Loop, the Loop, and Edgewater.

The Chicago Architecture Biennial is a forum for exploring timely global issues through the lens of architecture and design: the 2021 edition will investigate how an institution can enable long-lasting change beyond a single exhibition. Programming as part of The Available City will prompt conversation and collaboration between local and global participants; between global institutions and community-based organizations; between practitioners and students; and more, creating relationships and content that will last far beyond the close of the 2021 edition.
