In diverse careers from professional practice in architecture, interior architecture, and design; to roles in public policy, education, and advocacy; to their own innovative studio practices, alumni of Architecture, Interior Architecture, and Designed Objects (AIADO) at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), are making their mark on a changing field.

A celebration of the first decade of graduates from the Department, AIADO at 10 is a series of programs and activities held throughout the Spring of 2018 featuring AIADO alumni.

Including exhibitions in the AIADO Gallery, a two-day symposium at the School, and alumni meet-ups at the School’s Design Show at the Block 37 center in May, and at student exhibitions in New York, Milan, and Venice, AIADO at 10 brings together alumni, students, and faculty to reflect on our past and to imagine, and enact, our future.

Provide an alumni update or sign up for updates from SAIC here.

SPECIAL EVENTS:

AIADO alumni will be recognized at student and faculty exhibitions worldwide this spring
