2014 ANNUAL REPORT
Chicago Architecture Foundation ANNUAL REPORT 2014 architecture.org1 2
Stroll through a neighborhood. Bike a lakefront path. Walk past towering buildings. For centuries, design has influenced how we work and play. And for nearly 50 years, the Chicago Architecture Foundation has led Chicago and the world in a deeper understanding of why it all matters.
Throughout the city, the Chicago Architecture Foundation is inspiring people from here and abroad to look up, inside and around the corner. Through tours, festivals, programs and even scavenger hunts, we offer new and unexpected ways to connect people with the architecture that defines Chicago and impacts our daily lives.
We hope you’ll discover design with us.

DEAR FRIENDS
What defines a great cultural organization?
It starts with an inspiring mission, thought-
provoking programs and profound engagement
with the life of the city it serves.
Last year, the Chicago Architecture Foundation
(CAF) served a record 583,000 residents and
tourists. Our mission—inspiring people to
discover why design matters—is taking hold
across the region. Throughout the year, you can find young school-aged children, high school students,
millennials, movers and shakers, urban explorers, active families, and cultural enthusiasts participating
in CAF tours, events, classes and programs. Over the past several years, we have seen a dramatic rise
in the number of people we reach and the number of people who have a passion for architecture, a
love of Chicago and a commitment to voicing their thoughts and ideas for the future of our city.
Today, CAF stands proud as the largest nonprofit architecture organization in the world and one of
Chicago’s leading cultural institutions. Our 2016 Strategic Advancement Plan is the force behind our
initiatives for engaging Chicagoans with key issues facing the built environment, fostering civic pride
and celebrating the architectural assets that define Chicago.
These 2014 highlights tell the story:
• Architecture.org, CAF’s stunning new website, has been transformed with new powerful stories
about Chicago’s architecture, trending news on the built environment and dynamic information
for citizens and educators.
• CAF docents took more than 380,000 guests on architecture tours in Chicago and the suburbs.
• CAF was invited to partner with Cook County to co-host a design charrette to explore ideas for the
future of old Cook County Hospital. Five civic teams brought together innovative ideas for leveraging
the value of the historic building.
• Open House Chicago is now a blockbuster citywide architecture festival that attracted 75,000
attendees who made 285,000 site visits to 18 neighborhoods in one October weekend—an increase
of 240% over its inaugural year in 2011.
• CAF’s Scavenger Hunt challenged citizens of all ages to solve clues about Chicago’s history
and culture. After a successful launch in 2014, Scavenger Hunt is now an annual flagship program.
It was a powerful affirmation of this work when in the spring of 2014, the American Architectural
Foundation in Washington, D.C. presented CAF with the 2014 Keystone Award. This award honors an
individual or organization from outside the field of architecture for exemplary leadership. We owe
our dynamic growth to the dedication of our staff, board and volunteers; to our enthusiastic donors;
and to the unshakable passion of Chicagoans who firmly believe: design matters.
John Pintozzi Chair, Board of Trustees
Lynn Osmond, Hon. AIA President and CEO
The Chicago Architecture Foundation is a treasure not just for the residents of Chicago and
visitors to that great architectural city, but for all those working around the world to
enrich lives through architecture and design. CAF’s leadership and commitment to helping fellow architecture and design educators and
organizations succeed epitomizes what it means to be a great partner.

THE DESIGN BEHIND A GREAT CULTURAL ORGANIZATION
Chicago Architecture Foundation ANNUAL REPORT 2014 architecture.org5 6
You can catch a glimpse of it as you drive down the I-290 expressway. Even at 50 miles an hour, the architectural power of the building is unmistakable. Up close, old Cook County Hospital, with its classic Beaux-Arts style, three-story granite facade with fluted ionic columns, sculptural motifs and a mansard roof, is simply breathtaking.
Once the world’s largest medical facility, old Cook County Hospital on the near west side has been vacant since 2002 and has endured significant deterioration. “We believe that there’s an inherent value in the former Cook County Hospital building,” said Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle. “Our goal with this redevelopment process is to attempt to unlock that value.”
CHICAGO’S ARCHITECTURE CONVENER
But how to begin? Cook County Bureau
of Economic Development invited CAF to
co-host a design charrette and convene
the public conversation about the future
of the historic site.
“Who better to co-host than Chicago
Architecture Foundation?” asked Kim Goluska,
Chicago Consultants Studio, the county’s
strategic planning partner. “As a civic leader,
CAF was perfectly positioned to host it. They
are keepers of the urban architecture and
civic design conversation in Chicago, across
the country and internationally.”
CAF, in partnership with the county, kicked off
a two-week design charrette on September
23, 2014 with a presentation to create
excitement about the project and inspire
participants to dream big. Following a look at
the building’s history, the presentation drew
from international projects for inspiration such
as London’s Bank Side Power Station, which
was transformed into the Tate Modern. The
audience was challenged to explore potential
ideas for a mixed-use redevelopment of the
historic building, the surrounding medical
district and the near west side community.
“Do buildings hold our history, tell our story?”
asked CAF President Lynn Osmond. “How can
a building be redeveloped so we don’t lose
the story—while reimagining a new chapter?”

UNLOCKING THE VALUE OF
OLD COOK COUNTY HOSPITAL
I’d like to thank Lynn Osmond and her staff
from the Chicago Architecture Foundation. In addition to being our host tonight, CAF has also been our partner in
producing the charrette, and I’d like to particularly acknowledge their role
in promoting this process to the architecture and design community and facilitating a creative dialogue
through their website.
TONI PRECKWINKLE, COOK COUNTY BOARD
PRESIDENT
FIVE FAR-REACHING WAYS TO UNLOCK THE VALUE
Five civic teams—each comprised of architects,
economists, and real estate and urban planning
experts—answered the question. As the teams
worked on their presentations, a buzz began to
spread across the city about the charrette. CAF
used its website to generate public interest and
solicit public input. News that some of the power
players in architecture would be presenting their
work created even more excitement.
On October 7, 2014, the teams presented to a
standing-room-only audience at CAF. The teams
drew from the most inspired redevelopment projects
in the world. They proposed: winter gardens, a
wellness district hotel, welcoming parks, residential
towers, assisted living/memory care facilities, student
housing, retail—even a dramatic land bridge to
the north across the expressway to link the area
to the CTA Blue Line, the United Center and
Malcolm X College.
In each plan, the historic old hospital became
the centerpiece of transformation. Its legendary
architecture served as a cultural anchor in every
proposal.
BLUE SKY TO BLUE PRINTS
The charrette ignited the possibilities for the
old hospital and surrounding spaces. The county
has since issued a request for proposals for
redevelopment of the site.
What is a Charrette?
An intensive period of design and planning that invites communities and stakeholders to collaborate on a vision for development or to solve a problem.

Where will we find the next Frank Lloyd Wright, Jeanne Gang or Helmut Jahn? Take a look at CAF’s new Teen Academy, a multi-year education program that opens the world of architecture and design to high school students.
CAF’s Teen Academy includes programs
such as LEGO® Workshops and Saturday
Studios where teens work with architects,
designers and engineers in hands-on,
studio-based design challenges. There’s
also DiscoverDesign.org, a free, interactive,
online design and architecture experience
for teens and teachers. And in 2014, CAF
launched a new partnership with After
School Matters, adding another element
to the CAF Teen Academy.
Last fall, 16 Chicago high school students
embarked in an immersive 10-week experience
through CAF and After School Matters. Three
days a week, three hours a day, students
worked on model making and graphic design,
visited an architecture firm, took a walking
tour, and engaged with DiscoverDesign.org.
They even attended Open House Chicago
and loved jumping the lines with their CAF
special access passes.
In another teen program, students read
sections of the Wacker Manual (the text
book on Chicago’s 1909 Plan) and discussed
if it was still relevant today. Along the way,
they learned about each step of the design
process and how to incorporate it in
their work.
“When the teens started, it was so hard for
them to talk about their work,” said program
coordinator Jesse Banwart. “Weeks later,
students presented their final project to
a few architects and CAF staff members,
including CAF President Lynn Osmond.
They had no problem speaking about
their work. It was impressive to see how
comfortable and confident they were with
what they learned over the 10 weeks.”
Five of the students in the program were
so inspired they signed up to become
CAF Rodgers Teen Fellows (see next page).
Another student asked Jesse for a letter
of recommendation. He will be attending
IIT’s College of Architecture summer program.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING AFTER SCHOOL?
WORKING ON MY ARCHITECTURE CAREER
After School Matters is an important part of the Chicago
education landscape. We were excited to create an After School Matters program that attracted students from throughout
the city to provide experiences in architecture and design they
can’t get anywhere else.
GABRIELLE LYON CAF’S NEW VICE PRESIDENT
OF EDUCATION
CAF TEEN ACADEMY
RODGERS TEEN FELLOWSOnly 16% of registered architects are women and only 2% are black or African-
American. To address this lack of diversity and opportunity, CAF has developed
a new pilot program, Rodgers Teen Fellows, in memory of Robert D. “Uncle Bob”
Rodgers. So far, CAF has recruited more than 20 students from populations
historically underrepresented in the fields of architecture, construction,
engineering and design (ACED fields). This three-year, in-depth program will
expand to recruit 30 teens per year, serving 90 at capacity. It will include:
• High-quality, intensive ACED learning workshops and field trips.
• Mentoring relationships with ACED professionals.
• Opportunities to develop leadership and professional skills, such as
serving as CAF Teen Ambassadors during Open House Chicago, the
Chicago Architecture Biennial, Engineering Fest, Saturday Studios,
CAF Family Studios and CAF Middle School Camps.
To date, fellows have participated in a studio session on the ACED
fields; toured firms such as CannonDesign, Thornton Tomasetti
and W.E. O’Neil; explored DesignIntelligence’s “America’s Best
Architecture and Design Schools 2015” to begin planning for college;
and spent a studio day discussing the urban planning classic Wacker’s
Manual for the Plan of Chicago: Municipal Economy.

World Wide Web
It was time for CAF to challenge itself: If we inspire people to discover why design matters, how can we use our mission to reimagine our website?
More than a year from concept to click, CAF’s dynamic new website affirms, without question, that design matters. The responsive, easy-to-navigate site creates an exceptional visitor experience with trending stories and in-depth information on architecture and design.
This project really started back in 2012. With
the support of a grant from the Fidelity
Foundation, CAF was able to engage a
consulting firm to develop a Digital Master
Plan. This was a pivotal project for CAF giving
us the roadmap to construct engaging online
experiences that would resonate with our
current guests and attract new audiences.
With this digital strategy in hand, CAF
collaborated with web design firm FastSpot
and launched the visually stunning site
in March 2015. Architecture.org provides
opportunities to purchase tickets for a tour,
improve one’s architectural literacy, sign up
for CAF events, research a student project
or even do a little shopping with CAF’s
online store.
A signature section of the site is “Buildings
of Chicago,” a multimedia showcase of
legendary skyscrapers, museums, theaters,
homes, houses of worship and parks.
Working closely with CAF docents, the
web team crafted narratives that discuss
structural engineering, building aesthetics,
historical context and the intriguing stories
that surround each building.
The “Topics and News” section is the go-
to place for breaking stories and emerging
topics on Chicago architecture. Here visitors
can explore Chicago’s new playscapes, the
latest construction projects and even the
making of Open House Chicago.
The new site also promises to increase the
growing interest among teens in architecture
and design. The site provides easy access to
CAF’s Teen Academy (see page 7), family
programming and DiscoverDesign.org.
“We wanted to create the number one
place to go—for visitors and Chicagoans—
on Chicago architecture and design,” said
CAF’s VP of Marketing, Marilyn Jackson.
“Architecture.org is the address.”
THE LAUNCH OF ARCHITECTURE.ORG
CHICAGO ARCHITECTURE HAS A NEW ADDRESS
The website redesign was a strategic opportunity for
CAF to elevate its game on great design for its public face and expand
our role as a thought-leader in architecture, design and education.
We aim to transform the way people interact with architecture.

75,000 ATTENDEES
285,000 SITE VISITS
Last year, the average attendance for a Chicago Bears game was 61,000. Open House Chicago 2014—in just its fourth year—crushed that number with 75,000 fans going wild for Chicago architecture from South Shore to Rogers Park to Pullman to West Town.
Open House Chicago is CAF’s free weekend
festival with access to repurposed mansions,
iconic theaters, secret rooms, sacred spaces,
private clubs, hotels, offices and more. The
fourth annual OHC was another record-
breaking year with those 75,000 fans making
285,000 visits to 167 sites in 18 neighborhoods
over the October 18-19 weekend.
The incredible success of the festival is
largely due to the extensive planning of
the OHC team, dedicated funders and
widespread marketing—not to mention
good fall weather. “Our Open House
team has developed an exhaustive database of
intriguing sites in Chicago and beyond,” said
Garrett Karp, CAF’s program manager for
OHC. “Last year we added new sites in the
Edgewater neighborhood. This included the
Edgewater Beach Apartments—the famous
pink building off of Lake Shore Drive. Built
in 1928, it is renowned for its spectacular
lake views, beautiful indoor pool and giant
private garden.”
With Edgewater Beach Apartments on board,
more signature buildings agreed to participate
including the historic Conway mansion at
Sacred Heart Schools, St. Ita Church and the
landmark Episcopal Church of the Atonement.
The Edgewater neighborhood attracted more
than 4,700 visitors, ranking it among the
highest visited neighborhoods in OHC 2014.

The Chicago Architecture Foundation is the world’s largest architecture organization. We are committed to public and community engagement and to educating the next generation of design thinkers. Here is an overview of what we accomplished in 2014.
A LOOK BACK AT 2014
THIS IS HOW TO DISCOVER DESIGN
THE AMERICAN ARCHITECTURAL FOUNDATION (AAF) 2014 KEYSTONE AWARD
WE’RE HONOREDThe American Architectural Foundation (AAF)
presented the Chicago Architecture Foundation with
the 2014 Keystone Award at AAF’s 25th annual Gala
in Washington, D.C., on April 24, 2014. AAF’s Board of
Regents presents the Keystone Award to an individual
or organization from outside architectural practice for
exemplary design leadership that improves lives and
transforms communities.
AAF recognized CAF as one of the world’s leading
architecture organizations. “This nonprofit organization’s
mission is to inspire people to discover why design
matters, and it does this through more than 85 types of
architecture tours, as well as groundbreaking exhibitions,
national curricula, publications and youth and adult
education programs.”
“We are honored to be among the elite list of recipients
of this prestigious award,” said CAF President and
CEO Lynn Osmond. “CAF staff, trustees and volunteers
have worked incredibly hard to make CAF the leading
organization of its kind in the world. Receiving
recognition from the AAF signifies that we are making
a profound impact globally to inspire people to discover
why design matters.”
ARCHITECTURE TOURS
SEEING CHICAGO THROUGH A DOCENT’S EYESCAF’s 450 volunteer docents were busier than ever in 2014. Our
tours broke records with a total of 380,000 guests—up 19% over
2013. Our record-high year was due to increases across all tour
categories: the popular CAF River Cruise aboard Chicago’s First
Lady Cruises was up 24%, bus/trolley tours were up 28% and
walking tours (including bike, train and Segway) were up 7%.
Our tour program continues to grow because of our commitment
to keeping our tours fresh, relevant and engaging. In 2014, CAF
docents developed 11 new tours including: City of Big Data, Fort
Sheridan, Highland Park, Lake Bluff, Masterpieces, Monroe Building,
Must-See Chicago and Union Station.
In our 22nd year of partnership with Chicago’s First Lady Cruises,
CAF was excited that our boat partner added another 250-seat
vessel to their fleet—Chicago’s Classic Lady. This additional capacity
helped increase attendance by 24%. In addition to the river cruise,
CAF tour favorites include: Holiday Lights, City Lights; Frank Lloyd
Wright by Bus; The Devil in White City; and Must-See Chicago.
CAF’s partnership with the Field Museum for our World’s Fair
bus tour continued into 2014 during the run of the museum’s
World’s Fair exhibition.
CAF piloted two tours using open-top buses. These sold-out tours
explored downtown as well as cultural neighborhoods such as Little
Italy, Greek Town, Chinatown and Bronzeville.
Playing Host
Welcoming the American Institute of Architects
In 2014, 28,000 AIA delegates descended on
Chicago to attend their national conference.
CAF worked with the planners to offer
a curated selection of 38 walking, boat
and bus tours for conference attendees—
ultimately selling out 21 departures.
CAF Hosts the Travel Industry
In April 2014, the travel industry’s premier
international marketplace and largest
generator of in-bound tourist travel to the
U.S.—IPW (International Pow Wow)—was
held in Chicago. CAF partnered with
Chicago’s First Lady and Choose Chicago to
host a private river cruise, offer several pre-
convention tours and operate a marketplace
booth at the main entrance of the trade
show. New partnerships and promotion
opportunities were created as a result.

CAF SCAVENGER HUNT 2014
IGNITING A FUN-FILLED EXPLORATION OF THE CITYThere’s a new game in town. Chicago’s architecture is the
playing field. And the players had the time of their lives.
In June 2014, CAF launched the Scavenger Hunt—an
unforgettable afternoon where teams of Chicagoans
were handed a t-shirt, a map and a clue card to begin
a 20-site exploration of Chicago’s Loop. At each site, a
greeter answered questions then handed out another
clue card. Each card included a social media challenge
that was often active, funny and photo-based.
As teams went from site to site, the excitement and
camaraderie grew. Competing teams worked together
to solve the clues. All teams returned to CAF to honor
the winners and celebrate together.
“Our Scavenger Hunt attracted people who were looking
for a fun, learning-based activity,” said Lyla Catellier,
CAF’s Coordinator of Public Engagement.
And that was really the goal. Leveraging the success
of Open House Chicago, CAF offered OHC participants
and other adventurous Chicagoans a highly-interactive
activity that connected new audiences to Chicago’s
architecture and history.
Taking place on June 7, 2014, this new CAF event
was a sold-out success with 335 people participating in
118 teams. The results were so strong (91% of participants
indicated they would attend another Scavenger Hunt
in 2015) that CAF committed to make Scavenger Hunt
one of its annual signature programs. The second-annual
Scavenger Hunt took place May 9, 2015.
Tracking the FunThe hashtag #CAFHunt received more than 500 posts
and made Twitter’s list of trending topics.
90% of participants want to explore Chicago
as a result of the Scavenger Hunt.
78% of participants report “understanding more about the
importance of architecture to the city of Chicago” as a result
of the Scavenger Hunt.
88% of participants feel “proud to be a Chicagoan”
as a result of the Scavenger Hunt.
I loved learning the history of each site
and to actually see inside the building makes those facts stick.

Most valuable thing I learned—the
greatness of Chicago is in EVERY
building.

closed in March of 2014.
Women Building Change: Chicago Women in Architecture Celebrates 40 Years
Working in partnership with CAF, the
nonprofit group Chicago Women in
Architecture provided case studies of
projects that explore the role women
play in architecture. The exhibit
addressed the many ways women are
working in the industry and the equality
challenges women face. Support is
provided by The Graham Foundation,
Illinois Department of Commerce and
Economic Opportunity and the
Driehaus Foundation.
Online Exhibition: Skyline Stories
Launched in September 2014, this dynamic new online initiative tells the stories
of 10 of Chicago’s most iconic buildings through four multimedia segments.
Buildings include the Chicago Board of Trade, Harold Washington Library,
Inland Steel Building, Marina City, Marquette Building, Monadnock Building,
The Rookery, James R. Thompson Center, Tribune Tower and Willis Tower.
Each “skyline story” explores the design process, architectural principles,
little known facts and historical context behind each building. This is the first
project developed with the guiding principles of CAF’s new Digital Master
Plan. It is funded by the National Endowment for the Arts.
Chicago: City of Big Data
This cutting-edge exhibition boasted strong partnerships
and an exciting opening night. Installed around the Chicago
Model in May, the exhibit explores the explosion of digital
information encompassing everything from environmental
sensors to social media posts—and how this data is used by
architects, planners, engineers and citizens to understand
urban issues and influence the design of buildings and
cities everywhere.
A Pecha Kucha event, hosted by Peter Exley of
Architecture is Fun, provided a platform for some of the
city’s most engaging thinkers to talk about their work in
only 20 slides displayed for 20 seconds each.
The exhibit put CAF at the center of the conversation
about the newest technology and urban planning.
Highlighted projects include IBM’s Smarter Cities Initiative,
SOM’s Blackbox Group, IDEO’s Data Energy Map, the
Chicago Health Atlas and the Chicago Department of
Innovation and Technology’s predictive analytics work.
The exhibit is sponsored by the Illinois Department
of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, MacArthur
Foundation, IBM, SOM, the Sprague Institute and the
Illinois Clean Energy Fund.

LEARNING AT CAF
BIG DESIGNS ON EDUCATIONIn the fall of 2014, CAF established a redesigned CAF Education Department, headed by Gabrielle
Lyon, PhD. Under Gabe’s leadership, the department will build on its dynamic trajectory of growth.
In 2014, CAF served 19,000 students, teachers and families—a 175% increase over 2013—through
new programs like the CAF Teen Academy, featured on page 7.
ArcelorMittal Design Studio @ CAF
Think of this as a power station for inspiring design. Opened in September
2013, the ArcelorMittal Design Studio @ CAF is a collaborative learning
space that introduces architecture, engineering, design and planning to
people of all ages. Studio programs use LEGO® bricks, model making
materials, interactive technology and other hands-on tools to foster
creativity, critical thinking and collaboration.
Connecting with Teachers
Eighty teachers (grades K–12) participated in The
American Skyscraper: Transforming Chicago and the
Nation. This week-long professional development program
featured scholarship in architecture, design, Chicago
history and art history. Participants were selected from
a competitive nationwide application process that
garnered 320 applications. The workshop is funded
through the National Endowment for the Humanities:
Landmarks of American History and Culture grant.
National Engineers Week
During the week of February 16–22, 2014, CAF
participated in this national recognition of the
industry’s most innovative structural achievements
through tours, workshops and demonstrations. Fun,
family-friendly events were held in the ArcelorMittal
Design Studio @ CAF and other CAF spaces. Crown
Hall at IIT hosted a teen studio where students
shadowed professional engineers, architects
and designers. For adults, CAF offered a special
program where participants enjoyed a drink while
designing with LEGO®.
Teens Discover Design and 21st-Century Skills
CAF hosted its third annual DiscoverDesign.org
National High School Architecture Competition, an
online competition where students entered their original
designs solving a common, school-based challenge.
The 2014 competition, “Redesign Your School Athletic
Pavilion,” drew 219 students from 29 schools in 12 states.
The first place winner Christopher Kumaradjaja (from
Briar Cliff, New York) and his family were invited to
spend two days in Chicago to enjoy CAF tours and
visits to architectural firms.
CAF received a prestigious grant from the Institute
of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) toward the
expansion of DiscoverDesign.org.
See page 8 for a full list of sponsors and funders of CAF education programs.
Architecture Out of School
CAF hosted field trips for more than
8,000 students (a 30% increase over
2013) from public, private and parochial
schools. These included various tours
and activities designed for grade 4 all
the way up to grade 12. These field trips
develop skills necessary for success in
school and work—critical thinking, visual
literacy, comparative analysis, sketching
and collaboration.

32ND NEWHOUSE ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN COMPETITION IT’S LIKE “SHARK TANK” FOR ARCHITECTS OF THE FUTUREIt takes a certain type of student who is willing to devote nearly four
months of a school year to work on an architecture design project and
then submit it to a competition.
But last year, 561 individual students from 19 Chicago-area schools tested
their design skills and submitted a total of 693 projects to CAF’s 32nd
Annual Newhouse Architecture and Design Competition.
CAF is the only institution in the
country with an immersive study
program for high school students
at Taliesin. CAF also sends six teens
to Taliesin West in Scottsdale,
Arizona to study the work of Frank
Lloyd Wright in the desert and
visit southwest vernacular and
contemporary architecture. This
program is supported by CAF’s
Auxiliary Board.
The 2014 theme—Live, Work, Play, Story—challenged teens
to see architecture as more than a static piece of art and
to explore its ever-changing state. Eight finalists received
paid internships at Chicago architecture and construction
firms and two finalists participated in summer design
experience programs at the University of Illinois Urbana-
Champaign and Illinois Institute of Technology. In addition,
six students were selected to participate in a life-changing
apprenticeship at Taliesin, the Frank Lloyd Wright School of
Architecture in Wisconsin.
Through 12 divisions, students used a variety of technical
and creative skills to solve design problems such as
designing an adventure playground, a new creative wing
for Hyde Park Arts Center or a shelter for homeless people.
There was even a division for photography, film and graphic
arts. This division invited students to define the personality
of one of Chicago’s skyscrapers.
More than 60 leaders from the architecture, design,
education and business communities juried the projects
and offered mentorship.
“We are continually impressed by the creativity and
hard work we see from the participating teens each year,”
said Lynn Osmond, CAF’s President and CEO. “We see
that many participants go on to attend architecture and
engineering programs around the country, attend design
programs at esteemed institutions like Illinois Institute
of Technology, and even earn the Crown Scholarship,
a prestigious full-tuition scholarship for IIT’s five-year
architecture program.”
PROGRAMS AND EVENTS AT CAF
A FORUM FOR DISCUSSIONAssociation of Architecture Organizations
As the leading architecture organization in
the world, CAF spearheaded this international
member-based network dedicated to
enhancing the public dialogue about
architecture and design. Founded in 2009,
AAO membership now includes 150 nonprofit
architectural organizations and interested
individuals in 64 U.S. cities and 9 countries.
In 2014, organization highlights included
the annual Design Matters Conference in
Washington, D.C. hosted by one of AAO’s
founding members, the National Building
Museum. The conference featured a strong
lineup of keynote speakers including Mary
Rowe, Vice President and Managing Director
of The Municipal Art Society of New York,
whose organization took a lead role in steering
the New York region toward more resilient
design practices in the chaotic aftermath of
Hurricane Sandy. Architects David Adjaye and
Phil Freelon discussed their designs for the
National Museum of African American History
and Culture located on the National Mall.
Additionally, AAO organized its inaugural
Architecture+Design Educational Network
(A+DEN) Symposium at Cranbrook Academy
of Art, located near Detroit. The seminar was
dedicated to the needs and interests of K–12
design educators.
In 2014, CAF focused on partnerships outside the organization to
diversify audiences and discuss new topics. Nearly 6,000 people
attended 2014 programs. Of those, 1,726 people attended 17
special programs.
CAF, the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) and Chicago
Women in Architecture hosted award-winning architect Elizabeth
Diller of Diller, Scofidio + Renfro in a conversation with Reed
Kroloff about her innovative design practice.
CAF, with Metropolis Magazine, the Chicago Tribune, Clayco and
SOM, led a series of rousing panels throughout the year on the
future of Chicago designers abroad and locally.
Sold-out behind-the-scenes programs showcased unique spaces
such as: the Auditorium Theater, Thalia Hall (with city historian
Tim Samuelson) and the new El Centro Campus (with architect
Juan Moreno).
See page 8 for a full list of sponsors and funders of CAF education programs.

LEGACY DONORS 2014
DONOR SPOTLIGHT
Dean Arnold continues to be impressed with the
Newhouse Competition students. “One year a young
lady created a model of the Spertus Institute window
wall,” said Dean, a civil engineer. “That was a very
difficult model.”
In 2007, Dean established an endowment in honor
of his late wife Melissa, a long-time art teacher at
Lake View High School with a strong interest in the
Newhouse Competition. The endowment supports the
Newhouse Competition and the Taliesin program in
Spring Green, Wisconsin—where Melissa grew up and
was among the first class to attend Wyoming Valley
grade school designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.
“It’s so important that these students go through
the design process as part of the CAF education
programs,” said Dean. “It’s a revolution in construction.
Today it’s virtual design, 3D-modeling and building
projects on the computer. But we can’t lose creativity
in the process.” Dean is passionate about this work
and will often visit the Taliesin scholars. “I asked one
young lady what she wanted to be... most want to be
architects. She wanted to be a civil engineer!”
Dean Arnold is a civil engineer and Vice President at
W.E. O’Neil Construction. As both mentor and donor,
Dean has supported Newhouse and the students that
participate in many ways.

LEGENDARY VOLUNTEERS
CAF’s docents and volunteers are second
to none. Last year, our 1,935 volunteers
amassed 38,291 volunteer hours. They
greeted people during Open House Chicago.
They helped Scavenger Hunt participants
find their way. They welcomed the world to
Chicago. Last year, CAF launched its new
Visitor Experience Volunteer (VEV) program
to strengthen the training and presence
of our volunteers. Our VEVs host CAF’s
exhibits, greet people at the Box Office
and in the ArcelorMittal Design Studio,
and welcome students on field trips.
CAF docents participate in rigorous training
in order to join the ranks of the premier
tour guides of the city. In 2014, 450 active
docents educated and inspired 380,000
tour guests, contributing 19,476 tour
hours and 6,837 service hours. 72 VEVs
contributed 3,120 hours; two administrative
volunteers contributed 243 hours; 47
Scavenger Hunt volunteers contributed
280 hours and 1,400 Open House Chicago
volunteers contributed 8,600 hours.
