This Summer, TSOA conducted its second Summer Immersion Program based out of IIT's Crown Hall in Chicago, IL. Over the course of four weeks, students developed a Bronzeville-sited Library Kiosk and Cafe studio project in dialogue with the City of Chicago's Invest South/West Initiative, visited dozens of significant architectural sites (including many privately-owned Frank Lloyd Wright houses), enjoyed a 3-day excursion to the school's origins in Spring Green, Wisconsin, and even made a trip to Fallingwater near Pittsburgh, PA.

The school’s location is changing as our commitment to the legacy of architectural excellence and experimentation endures.
