Ms. Jeremijenko's among winning visions:
The Chicago Architecture Foundation, Chicago, is
hosting an exhibition [March 26-May 2] of six winning
visions [100 submissions] for a northern extension of
Chicago's Lincoln Park. The challenge was to address
the complex architectural, planning, environmental,
ecological, recreational, and social needs of the site while
balancing city and local requirements and public and
private interests. One of the winning proposals was
"Eco-tones" by Ms. Natalie Jeremijenko, ME, and her
ENAS 996 SynThesis team, with major input by Isabelle
Chumfon '03 ChE and cand. M.Eng in the Select program.
 
Annual YSEA event:
Please attend the annual Yale Science and Engineering
Association awards, talk, and dinner meeting April 28 in
the Presidents Room, Woolsey Hall. Reservations requested
by Fri., April 23, 432-4220, students should send a $10 deposit;
it will be refunded at the dinner.
