A little more than two years after the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, the American Institute of Architects’ Conference on Architecture—the largest architecture convention in the country—returned this week for the first time since 2019. Hosted at the 2.7-million-square-foot McCormick Center in Chicago, the conference has brought together thousands of architects from across the country for four packed days of sessions, keynote speeches, parties, award ceremonies, and chance encounters on the expo floor.
Chicago’s celebrated architecture and enduring importance within the profession helped draw architects to the conference to make up for two years of missed in-person gatherings. Among the events on offer have been office visits to major Chicago firms, including Studio Gang, JGMA Architects, and Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture, as well as river cruises, and tours of Chicago neighborhoods and landmarks.
