John Zukowsky John Zukowsky was born in New York and earned his master's and doctoral degrees from the State University of New York at Binghamton in 1974 and 1977, respectively, where he studied architectural and art history. His work in museums and archives dates back to 1974 where he was architectural archivist at the Hudson River Museum in Yonkers, New York. From 1978 until today he has been working at the Art Institute of Chicago, most recently as the John H. Bryan Curator of Architecture. In this position he has organized major exhibitions and books about Chicago architecture, the most notable being two massive tomes and traveling exhibitions called Chicago Architecture: 1872-1922 (1987) and Chicago Architecture and Design: 1923-1993 (1993). In addition to projects directly related to the 'art' of architecture, he has pushed the boundaries of design, science and technology within an art museum by organizing several major traveling exhibitions and books on aerospace subjects - namely, Building for Air Travel: Architecture and Design for Commercial Aviation (1996) and 2001: Building for Space Travel (2001). His latest venture, in that regard, is an exhibition co-organized with NASA, on wind tunnels and wind tunnel models called Aerospace Design. This will be shown at his museum in 2003 in conjunction with the nationwide celebration of the centennial of controlled flight.
