    The IM Division is sponsoring an ARCHITECTURAL TOUR of the city of Chicago.  Chicago is known for its unique contribution to architecture, from the nature of its
    skyscrapers to the unique architecture of its different neighborhoods.  The tour will run from approximately 1PM to 4:30 PM on 6 August (departing from the Sheraton Towers Hotel on Wacker Drive).  The tour will be led by Diane Dillon who is a leading expert on the history of Chicago architecture.  The tour (which will be by bus plus a bit of walking) will encompass the loop, the Near Northside, the Lakeside and museum districts and many of the neighborhoods of the Southside (e.g., Bronzville and Prairie Avenue).  For an idea of what you will see just visit http://webapps.cityofchicago.org/LandmarksWeb/maps.do.

    We still have a few last minute spaces on the tour if you are interested.  You can with send an email (Full name, affiliation and mobile phone number) to
    IMDEvents@gmail.com [PLEASE DO NOT JUST REPLY TO THIS EMAIL!!!!!].  Please also indicate if you are a PhD student (you will need to verify
    this in some way - link to a website, attendance at a doctoral consortium event).  

    If you just want to show up that is fine as well.  So bring cash (no checks or CC's) and be in the lobby of the Sheraton Towers hotel by 12:30 on 6 August.

    IMD Past Chair
