This week, students of Luke Joyner’s “Imagining Chicago’s Common Buildings” fall course are displaying their final projects in the Biennial Pin-Up Space at the 2020 Chicago Architecture Biennial. Taking Chicago’s common residential buildings (and their history and residents) as a starting point, the course culminated in five designs for infill housing projects in Back of the Yards on Chicago’s South Side.
