Dear friends,

“This year’s Design 50 highlights Chicago’s creatives—those who give us boundary-pushing work, immersive experiences and all-around impeccable design across all realms. But in the light of the new decade we also posed an important question: What’s next for the transdisciplinary ever-evolving Chicago design scene?

Brininstool + Lynch: Making Architecture is featured in the February 2020 issue of Interior Design Magazine. Making Architecture is described as "one of those very rare design books that are so well composed, so successful, and so persuasive that they make readers wishfully imagine themselves as clients."

We are now accepting applications for summer 2020 internships. Our Summer Internship Program runs from June to mid-August. As an architecture intern at Brininstool + Lynch, you will get the chance to work on a variety of project types and play an integral part of a design-focused practice.
