March 28, 2025

Pro­duced by the Chica­go Archi­tec­ture Cen­ter, learn from Car­ol Ross Bar­ney, FAIA, the 2023 Amer­i­can Insti­tute of Archi­tects Gold Medal recip­i­ent, as she shares why Chica­go is con­sid­ered the city of architecture.

Relent­less­ly advo­cat­ing that excel­lent design is a right, not a priv­i­lege, Car­ol and her firm, Ross Bar­ney Archi­tects, are ded­i­cat­ed to the design of pub­lic spaces, explor­ing the pow­er of the built envi­ron­ment to improve our dai­ly lives.
