Chip von Weise

Chip started von Weise Associates in 1999. Prior to von Weise Associates, Chip was a founding principal at von Weise, Petrie, Ronan Architects and before that a project manager at Booth/Hansen and Associates, all in Chicago. His project experience is varied and includes many project types and scales from single family residences to hotels, corporate interiors, schools, restaurants and office buildings.


Chip hosts a Chicago residency program for 4th year Virginia Tech architecture students which combines the intellectual rigor of the academic studio with lessons and experiences from everyday practice. Each semester, fourteen students participate in an integrated design studio, a building technology seminar, and a professional practice course. Chip participated as a mentor and host firm from the inception of Chicago Studio in 2006 and has directed the program since 2015.


Being actively involved in the community, Chip is a member of the American Institute of Architects Chicago chapter, the Francis Parker School Board of Trustees, the Racquet Club of Chicago Facilities Committee, and Saint Chrysostom’s Church Facilities Committee.
