Join us on Monday, October 5 at 5 pm for the Chicago book launch of “Max Bond: The Life and Work of the People’s Architect” (@princetonupress) with a talk by author Brian D. Goldstein (@bgoldst). A Q&A with Irene Sunwoo (@_rinks), John H. Bryan Chair and Curator of Architecture and Design at the Art Institute of Chicago, will follow the presentation. The program, organized by MAS Context and the @illinoistecharchitecture, will take place at S. R. Crown Hall (3360 South State Street, Chicago, IL 60616). • • • J. Max Bond Jr. (1935–2009) was a civil rights activist, educator, and architect who shaped such iconic structures as the King Center for Nonviolent Social Change in Atlanta, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, DC, and the 9/11 Memorial & Museum in Manhattan. Driven by the concerns of the civil rights movement, he insisted on a practice centered on deep social engagement during years when his profession became preoccupied with celebrity and spectacle. • • • This book was supported by the @grahamfoundation through a 2018 Research grant. A limited number of copies of “Max Bond: The Life and Work of the People’s Architect” will be sold by the Graham Foundation Bookshop at the event. • • • Link in bio. • • • #mascontext #briangoldstein #irenesunwoo #maxbond #boo launch

ARCHITECTURE WORKERS: ORGANIZING FOR CHANGE A documentary by The Architecture Lobby, in seven chapters In the making since 2022, our film brings together Lobby members and allies making the case for organizing in workplaces, schools, cooperatives and beyond. From 26-hour unpaid overtime shifts and unpaid competitions to union contracts and worker-owned firms, it follows architecture workers building power together. Chapter 1, Why Organize, launches this week and stays online throughout. From November, we'll release a new chapter each month, online for that month only. Every chapter comes with a discussion guide for Lobby chapters, study groups and coworkers. 1. Why Organize (October) 2. Past Organizing (November) 3. Unionization (December) 4. Cooperatives (January) 5. Organizing Academia (February) 6. Beyond Licensure (March) 7. Expanding Solidarity (April) Screenings: the full 50-minute film is screening at festivals and in communities throughout the year. Stay tuned for dates and a screening guide.

Once again, our favorite season, Virgo season, has come to an end. Eclipses and tennis. Back to school and ballet. Another trip around the sun. Books by the pool. A little dancing. The joy of watching your daughter become friends with your friends’ daughters. Discovering that green might be my color. An epic welcome for our city’s new maestro. The, at times, unscrupulous use of AI. Late summer storms. And, as always, beauty in all the details. Until next year, Virgo season.
