The Illinois Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects (ILASLA) invites you to celebrate the 2009 Centennial of Daniel Burnham’s “Plan of Chicago,” joining Chicago and the Midwest Region’s leading Landscape Architects at the Burnham 100 x 100 Visioning Charrette, to be held at the Chicago Cultural Center, July 16th, 2009.

We will “Make No Little Plans” in a day of intellectual discourse on the role of Landscape Architecture in determining future sustainable visions.  We will be sketching Landscape Architecture influenced fantastic visions for Chicago and the Midwest’s next 100 years, including design themes such as: regional scale, water, transit, nature, city form, growing food, play, open space, and quality of life.

All designers, students, and allied professionals are encouraged to bring favorite drawing materials and contribute to the graphical depiction of ideas, to be posted and discussed as part of the proceedings.  Final products will be incorporated into future ILASLA Marketing materials, and selected for contribution to the September Burnham Centennial Exhibition, “Big, Bold, Visionary-Chicago Considers the Next Century.” 

This “Summer Fantasy Camp Event” for Landscape Architects promises to be enjoyable, professionally enriching, as well as an opportunity for regional participants to meet each other and “give back” to our profession through contribution of ideas and graphic works.  Planned accommodations for Midwest Region guests include a Chicago firm sponsor dinner, tour of local works including Millennium Park, and reduced rates at a local hotel.We have secured a discount hotel rate at the Burnham Hotel. Participants should call 1-800-Kimpton and ask for the “architectural partnership rate” which is a 15-20% discount of the best rate published.
