The Burnham Prize 2017 is a competition hosted by the Chicago Architectural Club (CAC), this year the title was ?Under the Dome,' requiring participants to rethinking the radial form that has been a part of architecture for centuries.Participants were asked to develop a speculative proposal for the abandoned St Stephen?s Church on its centennial anniversary, challenged with the task of injecting energy and life back into the desolated ruin. In reaction to the Chicago Architecture Biennale, the historical and typological construct of the dome was to be taken and reconsidered as a contemporary structure with an understanding of the historical context.Domes have always been an experiential space, a single volume that creates grandeur and sentiment.

The entrants took on a similar task, bringing the dome into the 21st century.
