Preservation Trust
In 2009, the Village Board approved the formation of the Schweikher House Preservation Trust to help oversee the stewardship of the village’s historic Paul Schweikher House & Studio. In October of 2010, the trust’s board of directors was appointed by the Village President and their first meeting was held. An Advisory Council was formed with the help of Martyl Langsdorf, in which preservation-minded members of the art, architecture, and science communities were pulled together to help counsel the Schweikher House Preservation Trust and its Board as it moves forward and develops more tours and programming.

MAS Context is a design journal that addresses issues that affect the urban context. Each issue delivers a comprehensive and critical view of a single topic through the active participation of people from different fields and different perspectives who, together, instigate the debate over urban issues that affect the way we live and design.
MAS Context shares the most remarkable ideas and work with the public. It is produced by architects and designers for people interested in the future of the place where they live. It embraces collaboration, explores new formats of distribution, and thinks in a critical way about the issues that affect how we live. And at the same time, it works to generate a collaborative culture of design in the city where it is produced, Chicago.
Along with topic-focused publications that we make available online and in print, we organize several public events throughout the year, some of them in collaboration with Chicago-based institutions and professional organizations. MAS Context has received the support of several institutions and individuals and its content and design have been awarded by prestigious organizations. MAS Context has received several grants from the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts and The Richard H. Driehaus Foundation. Its design has been awarded multiple years by the Society of Typographic Arts and as part of the competition 50 Books | 50 Covers organized by AIGA and Design Observer.
