#342 - From Idea to Execution

Evan is jealous. Cormac recently went on a road trip with special guest Angelo Pirali to explore many (yes many!) remarkable architectural landmarks, and they’re here today to share about it. Key highlights include visits to Cranbrook, the Farnsworth House, Frank Lloyd Wright's iconic homes and buildings (including Taliesn and Johnson Wax), Millennium Park, and much more. The discussion revolves around Angelo and Cormac’s intention of studying these places “from idea to execution”. From historic masterpieces to contemporary projects, this journey provides deep insights into the essence of experiencing architecture.Links and Trip Itinerary (no, we didn’t talk about all of these):Day 1:Ford House Visitor Center (SmithGroup)Edith and Edsel Ford House (Albert Kahn)Smith House (FLW)Cranbrook (the Saarinen boys)Affleck House (FLW)Tour of downtown Detroit / Grosse PointesDay 2:The Rookery (Burnham and Root / FLW)The Monadnock BuildingChicago Institute of Art (Renzo Addition)Pritzker Pavilion (Gehry)Apple Store (Foster)Chicago Tribune Bldg (Howell’s & Hood)Glessner House (HH Richardson)Stroll down Prairie Ave.Robie House (FLW)Day 3:Fabyan Windmill (?)Farnsworth House (Mies)Unity Temple (FLW)FLW House and StudioOak Park Tour
