Art & Art History
Anything and Architecture
Featuring work by alumni of the UIC School of Architecture
Anything and Architecture celebrates work by alumni of the UlC School of Architecture. The exhibition, open to all alumni including those who attended the Department of Architecture and Art at the University of Illinois at Navy Pier, highlights the various design and artistic talents nestled beneath the professional veneer of the working architect.
The UIC School of Architecture, having graduated its first students in 1967, now counts over two thousand alumni. The Architecture Alumni Association, established in 1985, provides support to the School of Architecture, most notably in its endowment of an annual lecture series, which has featured such distinguished architects as Frank Gehry, Peter Eisenman, and Santiago Calatrava.
