For the last three years, the Harvard University Graduate School of Design has brought its annual Alumni + Friends Weekend to a new host city to examine design challenges of the area, and showcase the projects of regional alumni. Following in the footsteps of Los Angeles, Hong Kong, and Miami, this year the School will visit the windy city of Chicago, an urban environment defined by its architecture and design, and teeming with intellectual and creative capital. Heading into the inaugural Chicago Architecture Biennial, the Alumni + Friends Weekend will provide a platform for discussing the exciting research conducted by the GSD’s extended community and how creativity and innovation can radically transform our lived experience.
