2020 Lyceum Fellowship Competition
Call for projects organizer
The Lyceum Fellowship was established in 1985 with a mission of advancing the profession of architecture by engaging students in design and travel. In 34 years, the Fellowship has awarded over $500,000 in prize money to hundreds of students across the country enabling travel to over 110 countries.
Description
The Chicago bungalow is an iconic symbol of residential design and economic progress. These muscular brick buildings pioneered the now ubiquitous open plan concept, accenting these new wide-open spaces with Arts and Crafts details. Characterized by an elevated main living level, typical bungalows also featured a full basement and sloped-ceiling attic. Both ancillary spaces would often be renovated into space for extended and expanding families.
Understanding the historical design context, demographics and shifting definitions of family to be more expansive and inclusive, define, design, and deploy a new housing prototype for Chicago. The student should consider the space over the course of generations and plan for flexibility in overall and occupant use.
