Make No Little Plans: Daniel Burnham and the American City

As part of the Landmark Conservancy's seventh annual Fr. Baar Architecture Lecture series, director Judith McBrien introduces her new documentary. The film explores the fascinating life and complex legacy of Daniel Hudson Burnham and how his vision to organize the chaos of 19th century America shaped the nation's towns and cities for generations.
 
The film, the first full-length documentary about Burnham, was produced by The Archimedia Workshop in consultation with Kartemquin Films.
