Graham Reopening

The Graham Foundation is reopening the doors to the Madlener House after holding lectures during its renovation at The Arts Club. To kick off its Spring 2005 lecture season back in its old digs, Stanley Tigerman will give a talk on Tuesday, March 8.



Due to what looks like an anticipated packed house, reservations are required, available starting this Friday, the 4th.

I have not seen Tigerman lecture, though I did meet him as part of a class visit to his firm in my third year of undergrad. While he was a bit difficult at first - appearing to live up to his cantankerous reputation - after somebody asked him about graduate school he talked our ears off for a good 30 minutes on the importance of post-bachelor education. Recently he seems to have become something of a godfather, an outgoing promoter of the younger generation of Chicago architects, through his programs at Archeworks and the Ten Visions exhibit now at The Art Institute which he curated. He also designs buildings.
