Mid-century modern is having a moment. American architecture in the decades following the Second World War has long been portrayed quite narrowly. But new studies are revealing the diversity of architectural work during these years. Chicago Tribune Architecture Columnist Edward Keegan will discuss how our knowledge of this period is evolving.

Plus—We will have our newest book, Don Tosi's Naperville, for sale at-cost for only $18.20. Don Tosi was Naperville's mid-century builder. Please take a look at this 5-page sampling of the book.
