It was a memorable graduation week!

My sons Sebastián and Gustavo finished their respective degrees. and. I am incredibly proud of their accomplishments and privileged to have witnessed this beautiful process.

My former student (and next AIA President) gave an inspiring keynote address at the commencement ceremony. I am grateful for her leadership and generosity and convinced that she will lead the profession with high standards and lots of love!

I was honored to hand out degrees to my formidable T/As, and, who will also go into the world ready to make a profound difference! They also feel part of my family!

Finally, I was also thrilled to meet so many parents and honored to share stories about their sons and daughters’ academic voyage at Illinois.

As we go into the summer break, I wish the Class of 2026 all the best, knowing they will be excellent professionals, responsible citizens and even better human beings!

Closing the academic year with a fantastic a3 awards ceremony at the Illinois School of Architecture.

Thoroughly enjoyed sharing this special moment with students, faculty, staff, alumni, donors, family and guests.

Grateful for our generous donors and supporters for allowing us to give over $300,000 in scholarships, fellowships, grants and awards.

I am indebted to alumni board members Trina Sandschafer, AIA and Brian Vitale for their leadership and commitment to facilitating the mission and vision of their alma mater. Thank you for acting as jurors, together with Ralph Johnson, of the RATIO Portfolio Award!

Last but not least, our staff did a magnificent job organizing the event. Anthony Maduzia always goes above and beyond the calling to ensure quality and excellence in everything we do.

Once again, congratulations to all the winners, especially those who are graduating next week. Wishing you a great summer and all the best on your next adventures!

I have really enjoyed witnessing this group’s progression from the first day of my Introduction to Architecture class to this stunning collection of creative presentations.

Wishing everyone a pleasant and restful summer.

It was a great week of final design reviews at the Illinois School of Architecture and yesterday we witnessed an excellent display of grad studio work!

The projects showed unique approaches, diverse programs, various representation techniques and a variety of scales while maintaining a high level of quality.

There were sites in Kyoto, Brooklyn, Chicago, Mississippi, Urbana, Pilsen and our own campus.

As usual, an amazing creative energy permeated around the TBH atrium as we approach the culmination of another fantastic academic year at Illinois.

Grateful for the commitment and dedication from both faculty and students, as well as the generosity of our guest reviewers, who came from Seattle, Chicago, New York, Barcelona and Puerto Rico!

How much weight can a handful of bamboo sticks hold? A lot more than you’d think.

At the University of Illinois, architecture students are putting their designs to the ultimate test by building delicate-looking trusses out of bamboo skewers and then loading them up until they snap. The result? A mix of suspense, crashes, and celebration as structures weighing less than a pound manage to hold hundreds of pounds.

It’s all part of a hands-on lesson in structural design, where creativity meets physics and failure is just part of the process.

👉 Read the full story by Architecture professor Marci Uihlein to see how these tiny trusses deliver some seriously big results. 🔗 Link in bio!

Excellent work displayed at the undergraduate design presentations. This semester we introduced option studios in Fourth Year and the projects showed unique and diverse approaches while maintaining a high level of quality across the board.

Meanwhile, the Third year projects centered around co-housing as a viable option in our own college town of Urbana and the results were impressive!

There was an amazing creative energy permeating around the TBH atrium as we close another fantastic academic year at Illinois.

Grateful for the commitment and dedication from both faculty and students, as well as the generosity of our guest reviewers.

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. Their topics ranged from decolonial narratives of architecture, to issues of heritage and preservation around the world, digital documentation, academic freedom, and Chicago skyscrapers.

Congrats to the entire crew - proof that Illinois is a great place to study history, theory, and preservation!

Spring 2026 Japan Studio

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.
