DOWNTOWN CROWN
-
After a variety of exercises dealing with the urban condition as
a generator for scenarios our studio was asked to create a
convention center atop the once Chicago Spire site. Traditional
exhibition space and that which comes with it had to be rethought
to appropriately respond to its immediate context.
DOWNTOWNCROWN
-
REVAMP
This project aimed to bridge the gap between the capital and
lobby spaces within a chicago high rise through a continuous crown
of exhibition space. The theme is further explored through the
juxtaposing of two contrasting facades.
-
RESPOND
The Chicago capitals are reduced down to their cross section and
are then used as a canvas for ornamented perforations and a base
from which to engender a pixelated volume.

Tango can be described as a dance very much rooted in a tense
action-reaction between the two participants, aggressive and fl uid
at the same time. The form of the cultural center refl ects this in
the two main volumes that seem to be in tension due to the thin
break in the overall form

THE ENVELOPE DOUBLES AS THE MAIN STRUCTURE, A MANIPU-LATED GRID
AND FRAMING DEVICES. WE HIGHLIGHTED THE CONNECTIONS NECESSARY FOR
THE GRID CONSTRUCTION, SPECIFICALLY A WALL JOINT, MEMBER JOINTS,
AND THE JOINT BETWEEN MEMBER AND HEXAPOD. THE CONNECTION BETWEEN
THE STEEL NODES AND WOOD MEMBERS IS CRITICAL
