EDITOR’S NOTE

year. In addition, with each new month, we will seek to tackle a new topic that is at the current forefront of Architectural discourse. 2019’s January/February theme is Women in Architecture: Urban Fabrics & Design.

As this is Ricker Report’s first year, I would like to say it has been a pleasure to start this new legacy for the students at the University of Illinois School of Architecture. We are lucky to have incredible faculty members in our college. Even more so, we are fortunate to bring in professionals, some of which alumni, that can offer insight and guide aspiring young architects and engineers like ourselves. On behalf of all the staff at Ricker Report, it has been an honor to interview, speak with, and learn from the women featured in this issue who have added tremendous value to the Illinois School of Architecture and the profession.
