TEDx25thWard: Architecture or Revolution?

TEDx25thWard: Architecture or Revolution? is happening next Saturday from 2-10pm at the Bridgeport Art Center, it's invite only, but tell them Golden Age sent you: 

"Chicago is a city marked by waves of experimentation and a history of innovation, the genesis of architectural movements and the inspiration for such icons as Wright, Burnham, and van der Rohe. It is not just a city of historical landmarks in search of preservation, but a hub for daring thinkers looking to enter the discussion of today's built environment. This event is one foray into that conversation.

Like archeology, architecture tells the stories of how people live and what they desire. It is a physical manifestation of human imagination and collective identity. We must revisit Le Corbusier’s dictum: Architecture or Revolution? Should a generation living under today's social, economic, environmental, and technological conditions settle for the practices that proliferated the last century? Shouldn't our buildings be as advanced as we are?"
