HUSarchitecture Named In Top 10 Green Construction Services Providers 2023 by Construction Business Review
We are honored to be awarded one of the Top 10 Green Construction Services Providers of 2023 by the Construction Business Review. In a world where buildings use 80% of the world’s total energy usage, we are grateful to be advocates for a better future.
S2S Flipping the Script: CHA Youth Change the Narrative
We brought the team to Springboard to Success’ (S2S) gala event, Flipping the Script: CHA Youth Change the Narrative, of which Chyanne was a member of the host committee. The event “showcased S2S students and alums who have flipped the script of what is expected of youth growing up in public housing.”
Growing Our Solar Panel Knowledge
Did you know that buildings consume 75% of the U.S.'s electricity according to the EIA? As we move towards April's Earth Month, we will be building up our sustainability knowledge. This is so we can be better advocates for renewable energy and be more environmentally responsible architects working to reduce our buildings' reliance on fossil fuels.
NOMAS Symposium
Chyanne had the pleasure of representing the Women in Architecture panel for the National Organization for Minority Architecture Students (NOMAs) Design + the Future Symposium at at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign on February 10. The panel was intended to focus on the experiences of being a woman in the workplace and what growing architects can do to create more equality in architecture in the future.
Vote for husARchitecture!
We’ve just submitted a video to the SCORE Small Business Association highlighting our work with affordable housing and low income property owners. The grand prize is $15,000 and a trip to a business development conference where we will be paired with a mentor who will help us build up our company and strengthen our work in Chicago supporting affordable housing options.
CommUNITY Station
This is the final week to catch our CommUNITY Station show in Gary, Indiana that closes on Feb. 4, featuring student work, the Decay Devils and a silent auction. During the 2017 Fall semester, we worked with architectural graduate students at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign to design a new structure around Gary’s long abandoned Union Station. Since Jan. 12, our students have shared prints, 3D models and video walk throughs illustrating ideas to transform Gary’s Union Station. In partnership, the Decay Devils also have been presenting their artistic work reflecting their mission to revive Gary.
Five years and counting
This April husARchitecture turned five and I nearly missed it among the rush of permit drawings, design concepts, and programming for husART but five years definitely deserves some reflection.
I started husARchitecture in response to a need for my own creative outlet, a need to be able to chase dreams as they became reality, and as a security in the post recession era. It sat quietly for a few years picking up a few side projects while I developed as a project architect at Holabird & Root and learned more about international business.
