Open House Chicago 2022 took place on October 15–16, 2022 in Chicago. It offered free access to 150 destinations across 20 neighborhoods.
The post mentions neighborhoods including Lawndale, Chinatown, Humboldt, and Avondale.
The author says the event began in 2011, when the group showcased a facility on Pulaski just north of Fullerton. The space was called GreenDepot, also known as GreenMaker.
That earlier event included more than 36 presentations in 48 hours.
The post includes a detailed list of presentations from October 15 and 16 at Green Depot Chicago, 2500 North Pulaski Road, Chicago, Illinois 60639.

The author returns to 2022 and says architecture is part of the heart and soul of Chicago. Doug Farr is mentioned as a favorite person to talk with about buildings and design.
The post includes a quote: “Open House Chicago has a unique capacity to capture the rich history of Chicago's neighborhoods.”
The post says Doug Farr would speak at the Energy Revolution Exhibit on October 25, 2022. It also says OffSiteDirt would be with Doug and PHriends for the kickoff to “phiuscon 2022: Emissions Up Power Down.”
