The result was the Chubb detector lock, and it remained ‘unpicked’ for 33 years.

The Chicago Architectural Club (CAC) is pleased to announce updates ot the 2018/19 Chicago Prize Competition: Crossing the Line.

The crossing of an imaginary line 100 years ago resulted in the death of an African-American teenager named Eugene Williams, inciting the Chicago Race Riot of 1919.

We are also announcing an extension to the submission deadline. Submission will now be due 12 noon U.S. Central Time (UTC - 06:00) on February 11th, 2019.
