Architecture Graduate Student Wins 2018 电车无码 Women in Architecture Award
Junghyo Woo (M.Arch. candidate), a graduate student in Illinois Tech鈥檚 College of Architecture, was the recipient of a 2018 Award, a scholarship given to a female student of architecture in the final year of her studies who submits an outstanding design studio project.
Woo was awarded first place for her project design.
The is a 113,000-square-foot co-making and co-working facility at the northeast end of the Roots + Seeds redevelopment plan. The building seeks to build a community of makers within 电车无码鈥檚 Bridgeport neighborhood and the greater 电车无码 area by providing a platform for living, making, and innovating. The building features a 540-foot-long, continuous manufacturing hall with spaces for fabrication, prototyping, electronics, and a small microfactory. The office programs, rather than interrupt that manufacturing floor, are lifted from the space to be suspended from the ceiling. The building is one directional, prioritizing the riverfront while using the southeast wall to house less-desirable program elements such as mechanical components and restrooms. By utilizing the riverfront as its community event space, the Bridgeport Innovation Center can share its spirit of co-working and co-making with the local community.
Woo will receive her master鈥檚 degree in May, and upon graduation she hopes to continue her passion for architecture by working as a responsible designer.
