Festival of Maps: Chicago Architecture Foundation’s Map This!
Yesterday was another (half) day of Festival of Maps exhibits, and this time a friend and I visited The University of Illinois and the Chicago Architecture Foundation’s Map This! Envisioning a Global City.
First up was the CAF. A great institution, offering lots of tours which both tourists and locals (as well as suburban tourists who think they are locals) would likely find interesting. Located across from the Art Insititute, it’s nice and central and well worth checking out if you are in the area, and are interested in architecture or the city in general.
Map This! is a series of ten Chicago centric infographics assembled by architecture students at IIT and UIC under the guidance of architects from Chicago’s UrbanLab.
