The brief missive that appeared on the AIA Chicago website August 13 was mystifying.
It didn’t take long for the actual collective voice of the architectural community to respond. Architect Mark Schmieding posted a petition headlined “Call to reverse dismissal of Zurich Esposito from AIA Chicago” at Change.org. It quickly attracted about 300 (and counting) signatures from the likes of James Goettsch and John Vinci.
