Shelley Smith, Partner, BUPD Law attended the 2015 Chicago Chapter – American Institute of Architects (AIA) Annual Meeting and Holiday Party.
For Smith, this was an opportunity to pay homage to her past as her great-great grandfather Richard Upjohn was the founder and the first president of the American Institute of Architects. Richard Upjohn was a British-born American architect who emigrated to the United States and became most famous for his Gothic Revival churches and was partially responsible for launching the popular movement in the United States. He also did extensive work to help popularize Italianate style.
