This past weekend I went to Chicago with my fellow classmates for this semester’s Arch 202 field trip (Saturday – Tuesday). Our next studio project is a transportation node facility / improvement proposal for the Hyde Park neighborhood near the 57th Street Metra station. Along with exploring the site neighborhood, the trip also included a tour of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Robie House, an architecture firm visit, a presentation from a local cartographer, as well as a quick visit to the Figge Museum and the John Deere Headquarters in the Quad Cities on the way back to Ames. I will go into more detail in subsequent posts.

Jack and Ruth and I enjoyed welcoming you to Hyde Park. I look forward to your students’ ideas.
