Into the World by Way of the City

In an age when design problems are literally planet-wide in their scope and scale, new ways of thinking need to be developed to produce critical — holistic — answers. A partnership between Virginia Tech’s College of Architecture & Urban Studies and SOM Chicago has over a decade of practical application. We believe in a close and active collaboration between academia and the profession to solve today’s problems. The results prove that by working together, the innovative potential is extraordinary.
