Dr. Esther da Costa Meyer, a Visiting Professor at the Yale University School of Architecture, will be presenting an insightful discussion on the architecture of refugee camps. This thought-provoking event, titled "IN PERSON: Dr. Esther da Costa Meyer on the Architecture of Refugee Camps," will shed light on the correlation between colonialism and asylum seekers, highlighting how many refugees attempting to reach Europe originate from former colonies. A key focus will be on the vast size of these camps, which often resemble cities, and are predominantly located in the Global South. Managed by humanitarian agencies and NGOs, these camps face immense challenges due to the increasing number of refugees, exacerbated by the effects of climate change. Tragically, the provision of humanitarian aid often perpetuates neo-colonial practices. Nevertheless, a dedicated group of architects recognize the importance of involving refugees themselves, their knowledge, and their heritage in the design of shelter. This event, held in partnership with the Chicago Architecture Biennial, will take place at The Arts Club of Chicago, located at 201 East Ontario Street, Chicago, IL 60611, on October 5, 2023. Admission to this enlightening event is free of charge.

I came to Field Museum in the year of 2021. At that time, COVID was still a big thing, however, I still want to visit. it was amazing to see such a beautiful museum.

It&#39;s great. There are many masterpieces by masters. It&#39;s worth visiting, especially Monet&#39;s works. It takes about 4 hours to visit. From ancient Greece, ancient Rome to the European period, there are many people. It is recommended to come early in the morning.

It&rsquo;s a very nice and unique looking building. The view from the top of the building is beautiful. The view of the shoreline of the lake is very nice from this building. The Tilt is worth visiting. This might not be the amusement factor for the faint of heart. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Before riding the elevator to the top, there&rsquo;s an exhibition introducing Chicago. It covers architecture, famous people from the city, food, and more. At the tower&rsquo;s summit, you can take in a panoramic view of the entire city. It&rsquo;s definitely a worthwhile experience.
