Hi, I’m Anthony Skokal—a graduate student at the Illinois Institute of Technology pursuing my Master of Architecture. My interests center on high-performance building enclosure systems, urban design, and real estate development, where technical performance and thoughtful design intersect.

I currently work as a Building Enclosure Consultant intern, assisting with envelope forensics, performance testing, and remediation. I previously served as a Peer Mentor for the freshman ARCH 100 course at IIT’s College of Architecture, guiding students through site visits, sketching, and documentation of the built environment. I also serve AIA Illinois as an At-Large Delegate and Social Media Chair for the Emerging Professionals committee, helping amplify the voices of young architects across the state and strengthen connections within the profession.

I earned my B.S. in Architectural Studies from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where I helped run the Society of Business Management in Architecture (SBMA) and volunteered with Habitat for Humanity—experiences that continue to shape my collaborative and community-driven approach to design.

This portfolio highlights award-winning academic projects exploring short-term housing, year-round athletic facilities, museums, and adaptive reuse. Each project reflects my interest in architecture that is practical, impactful, and responsive to context.

I also run a blog where I share insights with students and emerging professionals on navigating architecture school, personal branding, and all things architecture.

Outside of architecture, you’ll most likely find me cheering on the White Sox, playing softball, trying a new restaurant, or spending time with family and friends around Chicago.
