Open House 2020 and Award Winners Are Now Live

Though traditionally held in iconic S. R. Crown Hall, IIT College of Architecture’s Open House 2020 will be hosted as a fully digital experience that celebrates the work of our students. Students, parents, and members of the architecture community are invited to browse our student projects at the the Open House microsite.

Titled “Strata,” the virtual exhibition presents a survey of work from across all levels of College of Architecture academic programs. The exhibition invites guests to engage in the juxtaposition of work from various stages of an architectural education.

It is with great pride that we present the following list of winners in our Open House awards program, who distinguished themselves with their exceptional work.
