The University of Illinois is offering a Teaching Assistantship to their School of Architecture to a qualifying student winner.
At the Illinois School of Architecture we provide students with an aesthetically motivated and technically rigorous design education. The depth and breadth of our curriculum enables students to become leaders in a range of disciplinary specialties
In a time when a new formalism represents the avant garde, we, like the school’s founder Nathan Ricker, look beyond current fashion, striving to leverage technical virtuosity in the service of performative design, aesthetic expression, and service to society.
Our diverse and accomplished faculty offer students a strong intellectual foundation informed by our position within a top-tier research university. Students explore theoretical and conceptual positions informed by history and technology, and envision creative design solutions for real-world settings in communities, organizations, and firms. Our comprehensive programs prepare students to design and research in a rapidly changing global context from the macro to the micro scale.
We develop graduates who are highly sought after in architecture and allied professions for their expertise in design + technical integration.
