Three of the four prizes in the 2016 Chicago Award in Architecture student competition were won by students of the Illinois School of Architecture.

As part of the Chicago Architecture Foundation’s 50th Birthday Bash on Saturday, April 16, 2016, Illinois School of Architecture students showcased work from their current investigations into city improvement projects around the CTA Red Line, including ideas for streetscaping, retail, and new mid-rise towers.

Professor David M. Chasco, FAIA was invited to lead a team of six Illinois School of Architecture graduate students—Angel Ng, Jienan Zhang, Christian Pepper, Katherine Stowell, William Smarzewski, and Yang Yu—in the first Volterra 2015 International Design Workshop, sponsored by the University of Detroit-Mercy (UDM) School of Architecture and hosted by the Volterra (Italy) Detroit Foundation in the Volterra International Residential College.
