Interested in architecture and urban design? Check out Open Studio for free workshops, skills sessions, and other events every Wednesday from 5:00-8:00PM. All are welcome!
Open Studio, hosted by the Architectural Studies program, is a weekly space for students in architecture and urban design studio courses, and other interested students, to come together. Students can work freely on projects both curricular and independent, learn skills in weekly skills sessions, and use our shared supplies in the MADD Center within Crerar Library. We also house a wide range of workshops and other events during Open Studio hours, many with invited guests or collaborators from across the University. Some of these events are developed by students, including the leaders of the student-led architecture club, and others are developed by faculty and other colleagues.
For a current listing of upcoming Open Studio events, please join the Open Studio Canvas page here or visit our in-person calendar in the MADD Center. Food is also always served during Open Studio, usually around 6:15, thanks to the generous support of Chicago Studies. If you have any questions about Open Studio, or would like to suggest a workshop or event, please contact fourth-year Nicole Helou at nicolehelou@uchicago.edu.
