This blog chronicles David Franklin's observations as the 2010 Francis J. Plym Traveling Fellow in Architecture at the University of Illinois. Francis Plym was a 1897 graduate of the school who later endowed the fellowship, which today is continued by the Plym Family Foundation and the U of I. Franklin will complete studies from a base in Paris, visiting 24 cities in Europe and North Africa, culminating with studio reviews at the Ecole Nationale Superieure d'Architecture in Versailles.
