Welcome to a series of discussions focused on the architectural story of Chicago, Seattle, Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York City. Innovations, sustainable methods and prominent architectural figures will be mentioned.

The event consists of a 30 min presentation followed by a discussion. It doesn’t matter if the participant isn’t familiar with the field or if it’s a professional. This discussion is for everyone and any level of English is welcomed.

Today we are talking about the importance of Chicago as a city in the world of architecture. About how it resurrected from its ashes and gave us the first skyscraper. And finally, how the first American architectual schools emerged.

Led by Lidia Nataly Somarriba Sokolova, a Nicaraguan-Russian student who specializes in projects of social context. She was raised in Nicaragua but came to Moscow and finished her architecture studies there. She has travelled to conferences around the world, bringing awareness of sustainability and the importance of community work.
