Finding Burnham in the Archives: Swedenborgian Revelations and the Plan of Chicago

Daniel H. Burnham's views on architecture and his ideas for the city are more fully revealed in his notes, letters and drafts than in the published Plan of Chicago. These materials enrich our understanding not only of the public architect and planner, but also disclose the Swedenborgian religious beliefs and moral values of the private man. Co hosted by the Art Institute of Chicago and The Swedenborg Library, The program will be presented by Kristen Schaffer, PhD. Professor, North Carolina State University and author of Daniel H. Burnham, Visionary, Architect and Planner.
