Sullivan Fabrication Studio Presents: Birdhouse, Our House

The birdhouse: part architecture, part designed object. A staple of woodworking and DIY cultures, the birdhouse is a project made by novices and highly skilled craftspeople alike. Whether highly ornamental or minimalist in construction, the birdhouse is a project that revolves around a universal purpose: nesting.

This exhibition of birdhouses explores the concept of nesting through making; our facility is a place that many students and student workers consider a home of sorts, and while it's not a permanent dwelling, it does provide a sense of community and security until they are ready to fly on their own.

We invite you to visit the newest exhibit in the Sullivan Gallery Space.

VERTXII is a gathering space; a place to make connections and build relationships. In Part 1, we gathered your questions, replies, and began the process of inquiry to learn more about each other. In Part 2, we have collected thoughts from AIADO/HPRES faculty and staff about what inspires and motivates them in their practice, and began the process of sharing ideas and creative conversation.

We are transitioning to the next installment of the AIADO/HPRES 12th Floor Gallery and are welcoming new submissions for our 3 Part Exhibition "VERTXII" (pronounced "verticies") from our students to share their inspirations, design experiences, and personal anecdotes.
We look forward to learning more about your and your work.

Thank you!

Stay tuned for Part 3 in M

The Arch/InArch Capstone Studio of Spring 2022 presents the exhibition, "Living Collections and Living Collectively," including five building proposals that combine affordable housing with a community-oriented library along Paseo Boricua near Humboldt Park, in Chicago. Each project responds to the deficiencies of conventional housing models and offers up alternative visions for collective living that reimagine how individuals can productively share space.

The exhibition is located in the third floor hallway gallery of 280 S. Columbus and is on view from Monday 5/9 - Friday 5/13.
