About

Takes on Buildings and Cities. I'm based in Chicago and make videos that explore and explain the built environment. Stewart Hicks is an architectural design educator that leads design studios and lecture courses as an Associate Professor in the School of Architecture at the University of Illinois at Chicago. He also serves as an Associate Dean in the College of Architecture, Design, and the Arts and is the co-founder of the practice Design With Company. There are people that help with these videos and without them, they could not happen. Allison Newmeyer, thank you very everything! Jimenez Lai, your input is crucial. Evan Montgomery. Thank you!
