Summer 2023 Immersion Program
Our Summer Immersion program will explore notions of collective space in architecture and urban design through both historic and contemporary projects across rural and urban landscapes. Participants will engage in tours and private events at a number of significant Frank Lloyd Wright buildings in Chicago and Wisconsin, as well as many other important cultural and architectural sites in the region.
Over the course of 4 weeks, home base will move from Chicago to Wisconsin. Studio space will be provided at the iconic architectural sites of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Wyoming Valley School in Spring Green and Mies van der Rohe’s Crown Hall at IIT. The program’s two midwestern base locations exemplify two contrasting urban conditions that students will experience and study.
