THE PROPOSAL AIMS TO NOT ONLY BE A VENDING KIOSK BUT TO BECOME AN ICON, AND AN EXAMPLE TO OTHER CITIES IN GREEN AND ECO FRIENDLY PUBLIC EQUIPMENT, PUBLIC ART AND PROMOTING THE USE OF PUBLIC SPACE IN EXTREME WEATHER CONDITIONS. PARAMETRIC ARCHITECTURE IS ALREADY PRESENT IN CHICAGO`S LAKEFRONT PRECISELY IN THE MILLENNIUM PARK. THE CLOUD GATE OR JAY PRITZKER PAVILION AS WELL AS THE BP PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE BY FRANK GEHRY ARE EXAMPLES OF THIS STYLE OF ARCHITECTURE.
ARCHES HAD BEEN SINCE VERY ANCIENT TIMES A SYMBOL OF VICTORY AND IN MANY TIMES HAD BECAME LANDMARKS AND ICONS. THEREFORE, AN ARCH IS A GREAT WAY TO CELEBRATE THE CITY OF CHICAGO AND HAS A GREAT POTENTIAL OF BEING ITS NEW ICON.
ENVIROMENTAL CONCIOUSNESS IS VERY CURRENT AND ALSO VERY RELEVANT FOR TODAY’S ARCHITECTURE . BEING CHICAGO THE WINDY CITY IS PERFECT FOR HARVESTING EOLIC ENERGY. THEREFORE THE ARCH HAS AN EOLIC TURBINE ON TOP THAT WOULD TRANSFORM WIND POWER INTO ELECTRICITY.
THE EOLIC TURBINE ON TOP OF THE ARCH TURNS WIND, ONE OF CHICAGO’S MAIN CHARACTERISTIC INTO ELECTRIC POWER FOR THE KIOSK AND THE LIGHT SHOW
LOCATING THE ARCH IN THE BIKE LANE, MAKE BIKING MORE ATRACTIVE BOTH TO TURIST AND INHABITANTS OF THE CITY, AS A REPLACEMENT TO MOTORIZED TRANSPORT
LOCATED IN THE NORTH PART OF THE LAKE FRONT, IT WILL ATRACT A NEW LIFE AND ACTIVITIES TO THE NORTHERN PART OF THE CITY
THE ARCH, WORKS DURING THE DAY AS A VENDING KIOSK AND TURNS INTO A CANVAS FOR A MAGNIFIC LIGHT SHOW DURING THE NIGHT
