our mission
The Chicago Architecture Center inspires people to discover why design matters.
our vision
The Chicago Architecture Center is the leading organization devoted to celebrating and promoting Chicago as a center of architectural innovation. As Chicago’s forum for the exchange of ideas on urban design, the CAC inspires people to participate in the building of vibrant communities and to demand the highest standard in urban design. The CAC awakens young people to achieve their potential through the discovery of architecture, engineering and design.
Our History
Formerly known as the Chicago Architecture Foundation, the Chicago Architecture Center (CAC) was founded in 1966 to save the historic Glessner House. Since then, the CAC has grown to become one of the largest cultural organizations in Chicago.
