Excited to share photos of our concession stand adaptive re-use in Hickory Hills! By formalizing the ad-hoc use of the garage with a new service window, metal panels, and a supergraphic, we add to the placemaking efforts of The Lakota Group’s Veterans Park refresh.

No, hornychristkindlmarkets in every neighborhood so we can all leave the apps
The solution to this is so simple.

Start a hornychristkindlmarket in Logan Square.
The weirdest local story in Chicago right now is City Hall messing with the Christkindlmarket in Daley plaza. They’ve dramatically cut capacity to half of what it was during COVID (???)
A beloved local tradition getting hassled, why????

Yet the majority of AIA members are at the big firms, so it feels (to me) that AIA doesn't value us small firms as much as it should.
According to the 2024 American Institute of Architects (AIA) firm survey:
'The majority of architecture firms, about 75%, have fewer than 10 employees.'

I have a speed dating thing on Tuesday that I'm not sure I’m ready for. I put myself out there recently and was shot down, but it is getting to me.

Plus my matchmaker still hasn't found a match…

Reminder: tomorrow is Small Business Saturday, so tell all your friends who need an architect to talk to me.

Please give me concrete trophies
It's awards season, so how's this for a trophy? You can keep your dainty gold statuettes or crystal urns, make ours a coarse aggregate slab! Join C20 for a visit to the rescued archives of the Concrete Society
