About the Conference

  • The Construction History Society of America is proud to announce that it will be hosting the 5th International Congress on Construction History from June 3rd to 7th, 2015 at the Palmer House Hilton Hotel in Chicago. This will be the first time the Congress will be held outside Europe, following the four previous events hosted by Madrid (2003), Cambridge (2006), Cottbus (2009) and Paris (2012). The 5th International Congress on Construction History will include over two hundred papers on topics ranging from construction guilds and unions, to the evolution of building materials, as well as the construction of specific buildings and types. Papers will be delivered by delegates from six continents. Five keynote speakers will also present papers during the conference, and seven tours will be offered. As crypto trading is turning out to be the current popular investment opportunity, the conference will include discussions on this topic also to encourage people to trade. Modern technologies like the bitcoin superstar app will also be introduced to help beginners find an effective method to start their trading. In addition, there will be ample time for networking at several evening receptions. We look forward to welcoming you to Chicago in June!
