Our final week of the design-build workshop was very productive and exciting! We embarked on the construction phase, spending the entire week at the job site. Although we faced a few minor setbacks during construction, we were able to successfully bring the vision for our project to life, presenting the final product to our client, ACE, family, and friends on Friday. Special thanks goes to the ACE Mentors and Administration, The National Public Housing Museum, ACE Technical High School, Chicago Rolled Metal Products, Cushing Co., and Clayco Corp., for their generosity in helping to make this project a reality.

The project features a total of 40 spinning acrylic panels with graphics, information about the future museum, and historical facts related to the history of the Jane Addams Homes on both sides supported by an aluminum frame and “tree-like” column structure with Polycarbonate roof panels. Take a look at the images below of the “Informational Kiosk” for the future National Public Housing Museum located at 1324 W. Taylor St. in Chicago, IL, as well as candid’s from the week and our final presentation.
