Burnham Prize 2026: The Future of State:

Last week, a group of our jurors walked State Street together, observing, discussing, and reflecting on its past, present, and future. We asked them: "What assumptions about State Street do you hope competitors will challenge?"

Swipe through to hear their thoughts!

Over the past several months, I kept returning to this construction site to photograph the slow transformation of the building and the people shaping it.

A site that changes daily, but reveals itself slowly — raw materials, shifting light, and traces of labor that disappear as the structure is completed.

About Range Design & Architecture

Range Design & Architecture is a Chicago-based Architecture and Design firm focusing on the intersection of art, architecture, design, and landscape. They believe that good design is not precluded by real-world constraints. In fact, they welcome them, often finding inspiration in reconciling seemingly competing demands placed on a project. They view these intersections as opportunities. Considering all aspects of the work including the physical, cultural, and economic context along with their client’s vision, budget, and schedule they seek to reach a balance of the pragmatic and the poetic.

About Orders

Orders is the architectural practice of Jordan Hicks. Through careful consideration of space and construction technique, Orders projects are functional and efficient. Through focus on unorthodox shape and material, these same projects are playful, surprising, and gently psychedelic. Orders projects have been featured in the New York Times and Dwell online. As part of his practice, Jordan also designs furniture. These pieces work simultaneously as components of architecture and as small-scale tests for new design techniques and sensibilities. Additionally, he writes to explore concepts about buildings, geometry, culture, and meaning; his critical work has been published in Log, Midwestern Architecture Journeys, The Avery Review, Avery Shorts, MONU, PLAT, Dimensions, and elsewhere. Jordan is a registered architect in Illinois, He also teaches design studios and graduate courses in architectural representation at Illinois Institute of Technology. He lives in Chicago’s Belmont Gardens neighborhood with his writer partner.
