Twenty-four architects discuss their works in progress and the state of American architecture today. Participants included: Robert Stern, Helmut Jahn, Leon Krier, Tadao Ando, Paul Rudolph, Diana Agrest/Mario Gandelsonas, Michael Graves, Thomas Beeby, Rafael Moneo, Frank Gehry, Ron Krueck, Jaquelin Robertson, Stanley Tigerman, Josfe Kleihues, Charles Gwathmey, Susana Torre, Rem Kookhaas, Bruce Graham, Peter Eisenman, Taft Architects, and Cesar Pelli. This latest gathering--called in order to actively engage architects once again in a discourse on the state of their discipline in a rapidly changing tme--was held at the Jane Addams Hull House, an urban setting. A certain conceptual focus can be attributed to the setting of this architectural event in a city that many participants clearly felt to be the initial as well as the last remaining American bastion of modernism. This event was hosted by the University of Illinois at Chicago and was sponsored by the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the fine Arts, and Rizzoli International Publications. A preponderance of the work shown in Chicago represented work-in-progress, with only eight projects presented either under construction or completed. each participant had ten minutes to present an presumably unpublished and thus, be definition, new project. An additional twenty minutes was allocated for commentary and criticism by the remainder of the assembled gathering. Four such sessions were convened over the two-day period with a final 90 minutes at the culmination of the proceedings to sum up. As was noted in the Introduction "events such as this represent the collective desire of some of the architects of this epoch to come to grips with a coming of age, combined with a very real yearning to communicate their most private thoughts about swelling and existence as well as their thinking about building.".
