Year: 2015
Role: Team Member
CADE 2015 was a design competition to imagine what a center for education & design could be in the context of a busy and connected downtown site. We decided to assemble downtown Chicago’s fundamental urban components—plaza, podium, and tower—and organizes them in relation to the city’s great engineered frameworks of rail and water.The building itself seeks to be an educational device, exposing building materials and structure for public display. The high school and after school learning spaces are stacked vertically, with strong horizontal connections between programs that foster both technological innovation and intrapersonal collaboration.
*Project was a collaboration of 6 BoothHansen associates.
