This fall, Illinois’ Chicago Architecture Biennial and Indiana’s Exhibit Columbus are anchoring architecture and design events across Middle America. But there are plenty of free talks to hear in case the big exhibitions don’t make your schedule. To help you keep up with the momentum, AN put together a select list of lecture events happening at architecture programs across the Midwest.
