UIC architecture team is creating this year’s U.S. entry to Venice Biennale, and it’s all about how Chicago invented the way Americans build houses Doug George, Chicago Tribune © Antonio Perez/Chicago Tribune With instructor Paul Preissner beside her, University of Illinois at Chicago architectural graduate student Mallory Raben works on elements for the American Framing exhibit April 2. American Framing will be the U.S. Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale in May.
The wooden framing for houses would seem like an unlikely thing to elevate into art. It’s utilitarian and basic, the common sight of American suburbia pine, lumber, another house going up for another family. Maybe a little hopeful if seen in that light, but otherwise about as exciting as your local Home Depot.
