Congratulations to the ALA Student Merit Award Bronze Prize Winners, Aidan Callow and Zakariya Rizvi, as well as their design studio professor Randy Deutsch.
About their winning project, Crystal Canopy: “Crystal Canopy is a dance and community center for South Boston, built on the idea that a shared activity can bring strangers together. Its signature is a large fan of steel trusses that span over 100 feet, paired with a support diaphragm that keeps them stable.”

Illinois architecture and landscape historians convened April 15-18 in Mexico City at the Society of Architectural Historians annual conference.
It was a great showing with Dede Ruggles, Windy Zhao, and Yazmín Crespo-Claudio chairing sessions, Marci Uihlein, Heather Grossman, and Delnaaz Kharadi giving papers, Kate Holliday speaking as part of a roundtable, and Didem Ekici joining the SAH board meeting.

Recently, our Japan Studio spent a week immersed in the architecture, culture, and urban life of Tokyo and Kyoto. From navigating public transit to experiencing spaces firsthand, students explored everything from Kengo Kuma and Tadao Ando’s work to traditional Japanese architecture.
This studio continues a legacy of global engagement, building on past international studios and exchanges that have shaped the program over the years.

Five Program Areas shape our curriculum, giving students the opportunity to think about architecture and design at different scales and through different media.
We have exchange programs with Munich and Switzerland.
