- **Event Name**: ONLINE - Chicago Homes: A Portrait of the City's Everyday Architecture
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 13 Aug, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Thu, 13 Aug, 2026 at 08:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Many volumes have been written about Chicago’s finest houses designed by architects ranging from H. H. Richardson to Frank Lloyd Wright. But what about the everyday buildings in which the majority of us live? Chicago Homes: A Portrait of the City’s Everyday Architecture, published in 2025 with text by Carla Bruni and  Phil Thompson, and hundreds of pen-and-ink illustrations by Wonder City Studio, is the first comprehensive book about Chicago’s residential architecture and the stories that shaped it.

Why are Chicago lots so narrow? How were Chicago’s alleys used before we had cars? What exactly is a “greystone”? The authors combine their decades of experience in historic preservation and illustration to create a resource that answers these and other questions about what makes a home a Chicago home. 

“A remarkable and comprehensive exploration.”
Eleanor Esser Gorski, CEO & president of the Chicago Architecture Center
