Between 1900 and 1940, the average American home went from kerosene to electric lighting, outhouses to full indoor baths, and saw the rise of the formal dining room, among many technological and domestic innovations. In his new book, How the Working-Class Home Became Modern, 1900-1940 (University of Minnesota Press, 2020), author Tom Hubka explores how new mechanical conveniences, public utilities, and changes in social behavior and hygiene (among other things), led to vast improvements in living conditions and the emergence of the middle class. Professor Hubka has given numerous AHC presentations over the years and this talk covering the key themes in his book will certainly be just as energetic and informative, even if we can't all be in the same room.

MICHAEL RICHARD HARRIS
Please join the ICAA Northwest & ICAA Chicago-Midwest Chapters in welcoming Michael Richard Harris for a discussion and demonstration on one of architecture’s most evocative forms of free hand drawing media - dip pen and ink wash. In this co-hosted event, Michael will present his setup, tools and materials, a detailed look at his technique, and explain why the dip pen and ink wash are ideal for drawing and sketching classical architecture today.
Michael will review the importance of light and composition while taking you through a live drawing and ink wash demonstration that can be used for quick sketches or extended length drawings. All levels of ability are encouraged and welcome. Q/A will follow.
Michael is an artist and architectural designer living in London where he draws and paints the built environment as a way to evoke architecture’s endlessly inspirational qualities. Michael has worked in the contemporary architectural offices of Zaha Hadid, and 1508 London, as well as the traditional architectural offices of Gil Schafer III, Stanhope Gate, and Pier Carlo Bontempi. Today he practices architecture at the Prince’s Foundation where he recently designed the Duke of Rothesay Highland Games Pavilion in Braemar, Scotland.
His love for drawing and painting developed as a student in Rome with the University of Notre Dame, and again grew into increasing obsession during an Affiliated Fellowship at the American Academy in Rome where he drew and painted exhaustively on location throughout the city. He holds a Master in Architecture from Harvard’s Graduate School of Design, and was the recipient of the ICAA’s prestigious Rieger-Graham Prize in 2008.
