Exit Review, 1st Place
The Exit Reviews are a series of public lectures presented by the graduating class of Arch G3 students. The talks, each approximately 30-40 minutes, are an opportunity for students to position their own design production and scholarly interests within the framework of contemporary architectural discourse. Each student is asked to formulate a position on how they see themselves practicing in the future and on the ways in which the discipline participates in larger historical and cultural trajectories. The Exit Reviews serve as the student's Master's Examination and are the final event of the graduate design sequence.
The final presentations were juried by an independent outside critic, Ellen Grimes from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
Faculty Prize - 3rd-year Graduate, 1st Place
The prize recognizes a student based on their performance throughout the entire school year, including studio work, participation and contributions to the school-at-large and the Exit Review.
