2011 Burnham Prize Competition
The Chicago Architectural Club is pleased to announce the 2011 Burnham Prize Competition: “McCormick Place REDUX”. This year’s competition is co-sponsored by the Chicago chapter of the American Institute of Architects and Landmarks Illinois and is intended to examine the controversial origins and questionable future of the McCormick Place East Building, the 1971 modernist convention hall designed by Gene Summers of C.F. Murphy Associates and sited along the lakefront in Burnham Park. Built on parkland meant to be “forever open, clear, and free”, considered an eyesore by open space advocates, and suf fering from benign neglect its owners, the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority, Gene Summer’s design for McCormick Place East is never theless a power fully elegant exploration of some of modernism’s deepest concerns. The current building’s prede-
cessor generated withering criticism from civic groups so when it burned in 1967 its critics mobilized. The raw economic power of the convention business ser ved to hasten rebuilding atop the ruins. But while Shaw’s previous building lacked any architectural merit, Gene Summers brought to the new project his years of experience at Mies van der Rohe’s side. The resulting building is a tour de force that succinctly caps the modernist dream of vast heroic column-free interior spaces. The competition charge The Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority claims the building needs $150 million in improvements and that the building is functionally obsolete, too small to remain viable as an exhibition hall. While the facility appears frayed, the building is in fundamentally sound condition. Connected to the larger McCormick Place exhibition complex by a covered bridge over Lake Shore Drive, the stronger connections are to the lakefront the museum campus and nearby Soldier Field. Surrounded by an over-abundance of parking, served by CTA buses, and bordering the immensely popular lakefront walking/running/biking path the possibilities for the building and the site would seem boundless. But so far, the only visions for its future to be expressed publicly been total erasure or reuse as a casino. The “McCormick Place REDUX” competition seeks to launch a debate about the future of this significant piece of architecture, this lakefront site that was ef fectively removed from the public realm, and the power ful pull of a collec-
tive and public claim on the lakefront. This iconic building is caught in the crossfire of a strong, principled, and stirring debate. So the question posed by the competition is quite simple: what would you do with this massive facility? What alternate role might the building play in Chicago should it be decommissioned as a convention hall? And if the building were to go away, how might the site be utilized? What might you do with a million square feet of space on Chicago’s lakefront (along with 4,200 seat Arie Crown theatre)? Clearly outmoded for its original use, sited on a spectacular stretch of lake-front, and undoubtedly of ver y significant architectural quality - what visions are there for a resolution? The competition “McCormick Place REDUX” is an international single-stage ideas competition meant to explore possible scenarios for the third iteration of a significant 20th centur y building on a site that raises a string of questions about public space, parkland, access, and righting historical wrongs. The competition is open to anyone with a vision of what McCormick Place East might become: students, designers, ar tists, architects, planners, and landscape architects.

McCormick Place Redux: Big Mac Reconsidered
Timothy Brow n President, Chicago Architect ural Club Principal of Tim Brow n Architects Ser ves on the Board of Directors of the A I A Chicago Foundation St udio A ssociate Professor at IIT’s College of Architect ure Director of Graduate Admission s and Director of International Af fairs at IIT
In a city that is full of muscular modernist buildings, none are as evocative of the movement’s power ful spatial and material concerns as the 1971 Lakeside Center at McCormick Place. And probably no building in Chicago is as fully enmeshed in a tangle of civic high-mindedness, historic preservation concerns, economic development issues, and bare-knuckled Chicago politics. Gene Summer’s building is a clear expression of an idea about architecture that has its roots here in the city. It’s an extraordinar y building whose architectural merit is beyond debate. But it should never have been built on the lakefront site it occupies (in Burnham Park, no less). For years the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority has complained about being saddled with a building that is too small, inflexible, and in need of massive investment and extensive renovation. The former Mayor likened the building to a Berlin Wall on the lakefront. Friends of the Park have called for the building’s complete erasure. A simple question was the motivation for this year’s Burnham Prize Competition: what might be done with this lovely, but unloved, building? Thinking big was a challenge laid down by Daniel Burnham so for a prize given in his name, the Chicago Architectural Club asked architects, landscape architects, designers, planners, and Chicagoans for big ideas about Big Mac’s future. No holds barred. For ty-seven project submissions were received from around the world. Eighteen schemes were recognized by the jur y in the first round of judging. And af ter a ver y long and contentious debate, first, second and third prizes were
awarded, with seven submissions being selected for honorable mentions. The submissions are engaging, clever, outrageous, evocative, practical, and taken together, offer a vision of a future Big Mac that is less given over to conventioneers and more oriented to Chicagoans. The Chicago Architectural Club would like to thank Zurich Esposito at AIA Chicago, and Jim Peters and Lisa DiChiera from Landmarks Illinois for par tnering with us in this competition. It is wor th noting that Landmarks Illinois is just now spearheading the fight to save another of the city’s modernist masterpieces – Ber trand Goldberg’s Prentice Women’s Hospital.

McCormick Place: To Be or Not to Be?
Peter Lind say Schaudt FA SL A FA AR Hoerr Schaudt Land scape Architects
This competition was a wonder ful, painless mechanism to solicit ideas and discuss issues relevant to the future of the 1971 McCormick Place East, the best designed building of all of McCormick place buildings. The building does, however present complex problems. I think it was time for our design community to “ante up and show our cards” on this subject and begin a dialogue, so my thanks goes to the Chicago Architectural Club (CAC). It is no surprise that a competition organized by the CAC mostly featured schemes focused on saving the building, finding new adaptive uses and proposing both subtle and radical changes. The winning scheme, “Toward a Requiem,” is sublime and was poetically presented. It seemed almost like a modern day ruin. The word “Requiem” in the winning scheme’s title suggests this is a memorial for a dead building. The scheme expressed the structure as a monumental “trellis” including a vast pool that would dwar f an Olympic size pool. It is really a memorial to itself. Being honorific for the building’s sake raised for me this question: “Is preser ving the building with an adaptive re-use more critical than the site’s value as an open park space?” I challenge the idea that changing the original programmed function (for the sake of saving the building) is not as compelling as removing the building outright. Yes, adaptive re-use is sustainable, but there is only one lakefront. For this reason, I saw the SOM honorable mention scheme as courageous. It proposes removing the structure completely and proposing a continuation of Burnham Park. I
was initially surprised that I did not see more proposals like this, but the composition of the jur y and sponsorship of the CAF likely indicated to entrants that a building solution would probably be favored. The lone landscape architect (myself) as juror was a last-minute addition. I found the second place entr y “McCormick Square” to be problematic and it almost won the competition. The majority of the jur y liked the practical, flexible re-use in this gigantic volume. However, would a non-convention program really be a draw to this somewhat isolated site? As it is today, tourists of ten complain that McCormick place is too remote to walk to from most of the centrally-located hotels. No discussion was made on why people would come to this adaptive re-use unless it was subsidized by hotels or convention use. Making McCormick a destination for Chicagoans throughout the year is a challenge inside this structure and at the location. This approach seems adequate and somewhat ubiquitous. Is “good enough” appropriate for this site? I would say “no.” It seems to me that making this building function better as a convention hall or removing it completely are the two best options. The Third place scheme was the most seductive and beautifully-rendered presentation. It was the vogue “hipster” titled “Hor tos in Urbs”. The building dissolved into layers of horizontal landscape with sumptuous curves and a lyrical quality. By the time you analyze the scheme more in detail it would take a massive re-building to pull it of f but this provocative scheme is great for a visual competition and made the final three, as it should have.

The original site or placement of this building could be a topic for a separate ar ticle of even a book. If one can write a book on Block 37, I have no doubt the histor y of the two McCormick places is the topic of a current thesis project and will appear in our local university bookstores any time now. It does not take an exper t in urban design, architecture or landscape architecture to ascer tain this site was not a good one for the first McCormick Place. I think ever yone agrees with this premise but it’s hard to turn back the decision. Rebuilding over the fire’s foundation ruin in 1967 was not debated. It would have been a good time to re-think the site but alas, the political clout was too strong to resist and it had to be re-constructed quickly to be open for business. The genius of the design was that it went up ver y quickly. At that time, would any one have dreamed that the convention center would colonize to the west, creating its own zip code? Is this East structure relevant anymore to its original use and at this specific location? Is saving it for a lesser use wor th it being on this ver y precious piece of land? This huge structure is literally on the lakefront and its hovering roof is a dominant form always in shadow. The site is on a narrow constricted piece of land linking Solider Field to Burnham Park on the south. This pinch point acts as a visual barrier to physically connect Grant Park to Jackson Park which was Burnham’s vision even before his 1909 Plan of Chicago. See Figure 1. One can argue Soldier Field is set back substan-
tially from the harbor compared to McCormick Place East. Maybe the long term political solution is to save the building and add more park land mass to the east and enlarge the park space into the lake. Burnham’s necklace islands concept could be built here to give the area more of a robust presence rather than a bottleneck park fragment. This idea could be added to the current Friends of the Park project the “The Last 4 miles.” It could be renamed “The Last 4 miles (plus McCormick Place).” The project would be ver y complicated; access to the Harbor would need to be changed and the politics would be a nightmare. The amount of land mass needed to of fset the scale of McCormick place would be substantial indeed. Adaptive re-use is a weak argument. Just because McCormick Place East is massive and is on the wrong site does not give substantial reasoning to save this building for the ages. Is it really endearing…..on this site?

This year’s Burnham Prize competition looked at the future of one of the most imposing buildings in Chicago, the McCormick Place East Building designed in 1971 by C.F. Murphy Associates. A building of undisputable architectural qualities, it is also an extremely controversial one, especially for its location in Burnham Park, an open space in Chicago’s lakefront meant to be “forever open, clear, and free.” So the question is, what do you do with this massive piece of architecture? Allow its decay? Tear it down? Propose new uses? Leave it as a monument of modernism architecture? The role of mid-twentieth centur y buildings is an ongoing dilemma in many cities around the world. We are approaching a time when the infrastructure of these buildings are reaching the end of their life cycle, and thus are in need of economic reinvestment to stop their
decay. In addition, they still have not received the architectural appreciation that they deser ve from the general public, which complicates ef for ts to maintain them. In Chicago, we have recently lost the entire Michael Reese Hospital campus (designed with direct involvement of Walter Gropius), and we are currently immersed in a battle to save the Ber trand Goldberg–designed Prentice Women’s Hospital. The city of New Orleans, for example, is fighting the same battles. A city known for its eighteen and nineteen-centur y architecture, in recent years it has seen the demolition of some of its best mid-twentieth centur y modern architecture, especially the forward-thinking public schools designed and built there in the 1950s. The most recent example is the demolition of the Phillis Wheatley Elementar y School designed by Charles R. Colber t in 1955. Recipient of multiple design awards and exhibited around the world by the U.S. State Depar tment in the late 1950s, the building was torn down last month despite the ef for ts from individuals and organizations like DOCOMOMO Louisiana. As society evolves, so do our needs and consequently the uses of the buildings in our cities. Competitions like the 2011 Burnham Prize can be an excellent tool to envision new possibilities for buildings, whether they still serve their original purposes or not. These ideas can and should generate an open dialogue between designers and all parties involved in the future of these buildings. At the same time, they should engage and excite the general public with the new functions and experiences that they can pro-
vide. This year’s edition of the Burnham Prize received many entries that reexamined the possibilities of the McCormick Place East Building, providing elaborate visualization of the new experiences this building could generate. Other entries concentrated their ef for ts in celebrating its architectural form and modernist values. While the latter looks to the past and facilitates a conversation exclusively among the architectural discipline, the earlier has the potential to generate a broader, and ultimately more successful, discussion about the value of the building. Looking to the future not only will suppor t the ef for t to save building but also will ultimately demonstrate the value of its past.

Exploring alternative futures

Although Chicago is known around the world for its modern architecture, even some of the best examples of Chicago modernism aren’t immune from suf fering from an occasional bout of disrespect. AIA Chicago was compelled to explore the idea of alternative futures for C.F. Murphy’s East Building for McCormick Place when members of the professional architecture community expressed concern to us about disparaging and threatening remarks made in the press by civic leaders about the 1971 modernist marvel. AIA Chicago found equally concerned colleagues in the Chicago Architectural Club and Landmarks Illinois. Together, through this ideas competition, our organizations developed a way of exploring alternative futures for the building, in the event that the McCormick Place East Building is ever stripped of its original purpose as a convention center. The ideas competition would also encourage more members of the community to think about the building in a deeper way. Developing a re-use plan for a building designed specifically to be extremely flexible is ironically dif ficult. The notable lakefront site, combined with the building’s fine modernist pedigree and massive size make this exercise par ticularly complex and add to its relevance. AIA Chicago is proud of the thought, creativity and conversation this competition has helped to inspire.

Preserving Mid-20th Century Modernism
Jim Peters A ICP President/Executive Director Landmark s Illinois Camiros, Ltd Commi ssion on Chicago Landmark s Indianapolis Historic Preser vation Commission Planning magazine
The challenge of saving buildings from the mid- and late-20th centur y is akin to tr ying to save Victorian-era buildings in the 1950s or Ar t Deco treasures in the 1970s. Architects and architectural historians might appreciate their designs, but the general public seems to be widely indif ferent. Buildings of the “recent past” are like awkward adolescents. They no longer are young and cute, but they’re also not yet old enough to be mature and respected. Or, in a phrase realtors might understand: They are old enough to have been depreciated, but not old enough to be appreciated. As one of the sponsoring organizations of this competition, it was our hope to get this issue—or question—of preser ving Chicago’s mid- and late-20th centur y modernism into the public discourse. And, before it’s too late.
increasing maintenance and energy challenges, but their unique designs also provide excellent oppor tunities for creative repurposing and energy retrofits. We were pleased to see some of these issues addressed in the competition entries. The design profession needs to help show the way—not to demolish these structures for vacant lots and landfill, but for creative adaptive reuses. And, with any luck, the general public will grow to appreciate the innovative designs and soaring forms of these great buildings of the mid- and late-20th centur y—as they have done with the once-derided early-20th centur y ornament of Louis Sullivan or the classical designs of D.H. Burnham & Co.
Last year’s demolition of the Michael Reese Hospital campus—located just south of McCormick Place—demonstrated the threat faced by post-World War II architecture. If buildings co-designed by Walter Gropius, with a landscape by Hideo Sasaki, can be scraped away for a 2016 Olympic Village that never happened, what chance do buildings by Ber trand Goldberg (Prentice Hospital; 1975) or C.F. Murphy (McCormick Place; 1971) have? Exercises like the McCormick REDUX competition are critically impor tant, not just for architects and architectural students, but for the general public.

Undeservedly unsung since its unveiling, its perimeter and profile crowded with the bloated mediocrity of the exurban landscape of late Capitalism, this great hall longs for an elegant and graceful end. Therefore we propose the transformation of McCormick Place into a dignified ruin of the American Centur y. Its renewal will be its final act, the building becoming an open air, water-filled hypostyle hall with a theater whose roof is the sky glimpsed through the precise structural frame. The primar y organizational strategy is subtractive, comprising a reduction of McCormick Place into an open frame. This entails (once more) a careful adaptation of the ar tificial shoreline and the east edge of the plinth to form an inlet for lake water to flow into the building. The roof cover is removed inviting the sky to pour into the building. Dis-assembly of the floor plates creates two bridges and three voids in the great hall and the columns on the lower floors are brought into the light of day. The bridges link the nor th edge of the building and the ante-space to the nor th of the Arie Crown Theater. Each bridge overlooks the central void, which is emptied of all columns to create a vast, serene reflecting pool. To the east and west the bridges overlook column filled voids, each forming a lake water pool with a specific restless quality. The west void is bounded at the edge by the plinth wall. It is a noisy, murky underworld. The east edge of the eastern pool is marked by the beat of the column inter vals framing views to the island and the distant eastern horizon. Perhaps people will come to swim here and perhaps some
will dock their boats. Perhaps new kinds of theater will be per formed here and perhaps one autumn morning we will see on the unfathomable inkiness of the ancient great water the exacting lines of civilization trembling on the vast aqueous meniscus. We will be among it and it among us. On reflection perhaps Summers, the collegiate swimmer, had shared his Aachen-born mentor’s deep fascination with the mesmerizing interplay between architecture and water, between per fection and the disconcer ting double of its reflection. From Barcelona to the Illinois flood plains, Mies, repeatedly devised subtly turbulent threshold conditions in his juxtapositions of the stable repose of a frame with flickering water nearby. And, years later, Summers might have daydreamed that - despite its robust and confident stance atop its sturdy base - the building would in its final act willfully embrace the water’s edge, becoming waterborne.

Why a Square? The answer is rather simple. Site was meant to be “forever open, clear, and free” but eventually that dream was not realized. Now we ended up with an impressive building, but with no real connection to its surroundings. This situation can be considered as a big mistake in urban planning, but this proposal proves that it can also be a great potential. The basics of this proposal are to preserve the structure, and adopt it to a public use, without destroying its essence. Architecturally speaking the building consists of a great podium covered with impressive roof. Podium is flexible open space that is inhabited with temporar y structures for the purposes of the conventions, and exhibitions. This essence can and must be preserved in order to exploit the whole potential of the space, and to pay respect the building. This special structure of public space inhabited by numerous elements a
pavilion style structure can be found in a traditional city square. We bring that idea into the space, form the podium as a square floor and the roof as a special definition and square limit; we bring great public buildings like Arie Crown Theater (that is now situated on a public space), ar t galler y, youth per formance center, and Barack Obama Presidential librar y as its main landmark. The rest of the space can be populated with semi-public buildings like café, restaurants, educational centers… Fur thermore we create a bridge to the tip of Meigs Field to close the *loop* of open public space. Adjacent areas of Parking Nor th and Parking South need to be covered with green roof that will create public space and still ensure needed parking spaces below grade. Green roof should be organized as a park area, with lawns, woodland, playgrounds, and other elements. That will ensure seamless integration into surrounding public spaces. Bridge to Meigs Field is crucial par t of this proposal. Besides connecting two shores, it connects two major public spaces. It is natural extension of McCormick Square. Southern end is split into two par ts, one leads directly to main level of the square, other down to the lake shore path. Nor th end ends with obser vation deck above the lake. Lower levels of McCormick Square are organized into four functional zones. Commercial zone consists of retail, restaurants, ar tists’ studios, bank, bicycle rental, café… It’s connected to the main square level by two light wells with stairs and elevators. This area is directly connected to the sounding park areas by two large openings on
the nor th side of the podium wall. Other three areas serve as service areas of Presidential Librar y and museum, Arie Crown Theatre, and general McCormick Square service area. The result is creation of numerous public spaces; the main square allows year round usage due to its roof, nearby Meigs Field can now become Chicago’s main public park. Overall investment in one building can be investment in the whole city.

City square is specially defined by two elements: Square floor and sounding buildings. At McCormik Square space is defined by the floor and by the roof. Unlike normal city square sides are open and square expends horizontally.
Well defined city square has an important public building. Besides Arie Crown theatre (that is now placed in public space), additional cultural institution is added in form of Barack Obama Presidential library and museum.

A square is a place to see and to be seen. To accommodate that aspect a number of pavilions are created. Usage of those pavilion structures varies from news stand to bars and restaurants and even commercial and retail. Structures are flexible so that they can accommodate various usages.

Beside defining the space and being a feature public art helps bring sense of culture to the public space. McCormick square being an indoor space allows much wider variety of art pieces to be exhibited. Proportions of this square are suitable for large scale sculptures and installations.
Art gallery at McCormick square is conceived to be a part of public space. To achieve the seamless integration into public space, the gallery doesn't have one or two points of entry; instead the whole gallery is elevated, which allows for a multiple entry points.
By building the bridge between McCormick square and southern tip of Meigs field we allowed creation of *green loop*. It is a path that connects all public buildings and spaces around Burnham Harbor. Meigs field can now become premium green space of Chicago.

Adjacent areas of Parking North and Parking South need to be covered with green roof that will create public space and still ensure needed parking spaces below grade. Green roof should be organized as a park area, with lawns, woodland, playgrounds, and other elements. That will ensure seamless integration into surrounding public spaces. Bridge to Meigs Field is crucial part of this proposal. Besides connecting two shores, it connects two major public spaces. It is natural extension of McCormik Square. Southern end is split into two parts, one leads directly to main level of the square, other down to the lake shore path. North end ends with observation deck above the lake. Lower levels of McCormik square are organized into four functional zones. _Commercial zone consists of retail, restaurants, artists' studios, bank, bicycle rental, café… It s connected to the main square level by two light wells with stairs and elevators. This area is directly connected to the sounding park areas by two large openings on the north side of the podium wall. _Other three areas serve as service areas of Presidential Library and museum, Aire Crown theatre, and general McCormik Square service area.

horto in urbs Hor to in Urbs merges modern relic with bucolic landscape. Once a discrete object lodged in the landscape, McCormick place now acts as a flexible framework for synthesizing natural habitat with architectural ambition. By stratifying park passages and circulation through the rationalist box, the elegant but looming mass of McCormick place no longer interrupts the lake shore experience. Each strata of the building – roof sur face, plenum space, open floor and plinth all become distinct architectural environments. The building itself becomes a garden vitrine of urban leisure activity integrated alongside the lakeshore continuum. When Chicago adopted the motto Urbs in Hor to (city in a garden) in 1837, it was a ver y dif ferent place from the city that exists today. The “city” then existed within a pristine landscape of expansive prairie, lush forests, and a vast lake. Chicago’s rapid and expansive growth has since inver ted this relationship - the city has overtaken and enveloped these natures. Hor to in Urbs begins with this observation - that the “garden” no longer surrounds the city, but exists as a network taking
on multiple forms throughout it. Within McCormick Place, Hor to in Urbs looks to extend that network and fur ther the notion of Garden in a City. By creating new relationships between various landscapes, architecture, and people this project amplifies interactions with “nature” and allows for new forms of leisure. Prairie/Aviar y (Roof)_A continuation of the Lakeshore grain, the “prairie” sur face extends up over the plinth and onto the roof encouraging circulation, meandering and exploration of the building. Various scales of topographic manipulation create distinct habitats within the roofscape - native grasses, wildflowers, marsh and bird habitats. Canopy/Menagerie (Plenum)_With the advantage of the long span structure, permeability through the framework becomes possible; beyond the conceptual framing of the picturesque through a glass wall, now the parkscape literally folds itself inside the structure. The fif teen foot depth of the space frame, with seventy-five foot cantilevers, is more than adequate for occupiable space and contains a living menagerie dedicated to mammals, amphibians, and reptiles native to the region. Forest/Wellness (Open-Plan)_Additionally the vastness of the interior provides for uses/programs not usually found in dense urban areas, much less within a single building. This ideal of “universal space” is maintained in the programming; activities and facilities usually located within distinct buildings or venues are re-situated under one roof; new and original relationships among these activities emerge. The buildings siting along Chicago’s network
of lakefront parks (between Grant and Franklin Park) provides an oppor tunity/anchor to the existing circuit of fitness and activity – McCormick place becomes a megawellness center. Lake/Leisure (Plinth)_The once obtrusive (from a pedestrian point-of-view) base plinth of McCormick place is enveloped (by the local topography) at crucial locations to allow for seamless circulation around and though to the upper levels. Within the plinth itself, exists a “subterranean” domain hosting various “wet” activities (such as swimming, bathing or even boating).This humid “grotto” becomes an experience entirely unique to the strata above. Acknowledging historical influences on the site, the building, and within the greater context of Chicago, Hor to in Urbs draws from existing and implied influences: -Overall urban intentions outlined in Burnham’s Chicago Plan in 1909 - maintaining access to and improving the lakefront. -The Modern architectural ambitions of Universal space the free plan, and rational construction. (Mies van der Rohe via Gene Summers) …and the still relevant landscape principles of Frederick Law Olmsted. This project speculates on the premise of imagined collaboration between such influential individuals (and their ideals) within a contemporar y urban setting.

I(N)LAND/I(S)LAND McCormick Place is optimally situated on Chicago’s lakefront. Given the potential public position of this amenity, we propose to REDOX the site by providing 2 new surfaces for outdoor public spaces. REDOX: island and inland. By raising, launching, and floating the existing roof structure into the lake new public land, called the ISLAND, is created. The remaining surface on the land, the INLAND, is draped with a flexible surface that allows for flexible program as the seasons change. Both the INLAND and the ISLAND are occpiable. The INLAND is portioned with 70% flexible surface and 30% algal tubes while the ISLAND is 70% raceway algae pond.

The harvesting of the algae has two positive effects – first it will aid in improving the overall quality of the water in the lake and second, the lipids found in the algae will be converted into biofuel. To date, researchers have discovered that since algae is comprised of 50% oil, it can produce up to 10,000 gallons of biofeul per acre – which is 1500% more than the most commonly used plant to create biofuel, the palm.

As a flexible surface, the site has the potential of hosting not only active activities, but passive ones as well. We propose it can easily accommodate 20,000 picnickers or 40,000 spectators watching the July 4th fireworks. These various surfaces are easily interchangeable – just as any modern coliseum that employees a flexible event surfacing system demonstrates. A new “ceiling” includes a canopy of lights and shading devices reemphasizes the spatial parameters of the original site.

Our proposal compresses McCormick Place into a singular public surface. This thin surface makes public stadium seating backed to the west with billboards facing the highway, a flexible open space (not found anywhere else on the waterfront at this scale) covering 70% of the 810,000 square feet of land, and an edge to the east that showcases the algae farm collection, public swimming pools, and specimen from the Shedd Aquarium (ie. a linear aquarium). The east edge serves as a dynamic water zone lining the public promenade of the lakefront.
The raised public space provides a ‘privileged position’ along the waterfront for the public. Commercial activities, a water based think tank, etc. slides underneath the skin without compromising the public virtues of the site, its edges or the lakefront. The flexible skin hosts football fields, soccer pitches, softball fields in warmer weather and during the winter months a winter-sport haven with various ice skating venues. ating two new public conditions: island and inland. By raising, launching and floating the existing roof structure into the lake just off shore new public land, called the island, is created.

SITE PLAN Official sized car racing track, approximately one and half miles round, penetrates the old McCormick Plaza that is used as multipurpose uses. Two newly created bridges connects the once abandoned peninsula to provide an additional natural park to the city of Chicago. The complex has its use all around the year. The main stadium accomodates not only automobile racing events, but also other sports activities such as boat racing and the Chicago Marathon. Bicycle and skate-board users are naturally led into the complex and enjoy its pleasant interior environment.

Save the Roof...Activate the Lake!
Creating a PLATFORM for Cultural Exchange on Lake Michigan Burnham Prize Competition: McCormick Place REDUX The McCormick Place has long served as the premier convention, trade show, and conference facility in the region, showcasing the latest products from an array of industries. The original building has now evolved into a complex of structures that has expanded through the years, providing newer facilities that meet the needs of the convention industry today. Yet one question naturally arises: What do we do with the original and functionally obsolete facility that sits on prime land? With a multitude of viewpoints from various interests about how to deal with aging structures no longer able to serve their original function, this two-step proposal addresses the micro and macro level issues associated with preservation, economic viability, sustainability, and urban design. The goal is to reuse and adapt existing structures that are architecturally or materially significant while being environmentally, socially, and civically conscious. Ultimately this concept seeks to introduce new ways of experiencing the city and its environs. It’s time to ACTIVATE THE LAKE!

Second Life - A New Venue for the City The site is located in a highly charged area of the city and lies at the convergence of multiple influences that directly impact and suggest appropriate interventions. Currently, Lakefront areas along and North of the Loop are popular destinations for
B
outdoor activities, while areas South of the Loop are underutilized. Considering that our site acts as a gateway to North and South branches of the Lakefront Trail, its central location within the city, and proximity to Soldier Field, creating a green outdoor activity zone would further enhance the existing path and continue to engage the city’s inhabitants with its natural environment. This would be anchored by a central public recreational facility that becomes a node by which other social and physical activities radiate to and from. Several procedures would be required to fulfill this goal. The first step is to remove the roof structure of the existing facility for further use while eliminating the entire First Level exhibition hall and theater. Second is to renovate the remaining Ground Level by providing a state-of-the-art facility that caters to
N
the public’s recreational needs, while converting the Basement Level to parking and shifting outdoor surface parking indoors. Finally, the now exposed surface that once was the main exhibition hall becomes a large green landscaped area with various outdoor sporting venues, seamlessly uniting a once disjointed Lakefront corridor.

The floating McCormick Platform enhances our relationship with the Lake, acting as a ‘tabula rasa on the water’ where a variety of activities and events can occur. It has the unique ability to be shared with large groups of people or be viewed solitarily and casually from a distance. This platform transforms the very definition of how we use the Lake. It is a completely interactive experience, and its location is ever-changing. It can be an intimate and spontaneous sighting, or a planned and perhaps sublime affair.

The original iconic space frame acts as the main support system for the platform. The structure’s modular nature allows for a variety of configurations depending on program.

Or attend the International Auto Show by stepping outside your backyard? Suddenly the destination is ever-evolving and transitory, creating situations that were simply not possible in the past. The idea is to introduce a unique user experience that actively (and passively) links seemingly disparate communities together through shared cultural activities and events. These cities and diverse landscapes are now accessible to a wider audience, which in turn helps develop a new dialogue among its inhabitants about how we interact with each other, how our environment can influence us, and how we can influence our environment.

Linking Jackson Park to the south with Lincoln Park to the north, a rethought McCormick Place will serve as an avenue for public transportation; a centrally located hub dedicated to promoting clean, healthy, and environmentally resonponsible movement of people while not ignoring the current or future needs of automobile traffic in American culture.

U-Tube This project take the McCormick place East and literally turns it into a generator. It magnifies and exposes the current necessity of Chicago to address the worlds current energy crisis. The project combines a series of highly productive solar tubes, with public gardens and landscape areas on a new surface above the existing McCormick Place Lakeside building.
It takes the available 800,000 sf of roof surface area and provides over 3.5 times the available area for the integration of a renewable energy source. Here solar tubes are arrayed in varying length to create a new “cell” based on the existing roof structure. That “cell” is then propagated and aggregated along a intersecting and bifurcating line work to create a new power grid.
The premise for the project is that the existing convention hall is too critical to the commercial and financial success of the McCormick Place Campus and also as a icon of significant architecture for the city of Chicago. The proposal addresses both the past and the future of Chicago. It recognizes that McCormick Place was a catalyst for economic growth and aided the transformation of a modern city. As a current city attempting to be a world leader in sustainable practices, the project proposal reiterates McCormick’s’ transformative success in a new era.
The project gives Chicagoans a new understanding of retrofitting and collaborative potentials, inventive renewable recourses, and the magnitude of the measures needed to achieve the 2050 Climate Action Initiative. Occupants can enter the surface for recreation via a ramp alongside Lake Michigan or from within the existing convention hall. Here the “program” of renewable energy merely becomes a background to activities not limited to picnicing, jogging, sightseeing, coonoddling, stargazing, and dreaming.

while the insertion of an arbitrary program fulfills the Modernist planning notion, it doesn’t answer any larger necessity...
dismantling the east building would reduce the sf by 300,000 and render the facilities useless to many trade shows...

NoTHING Is everyTHING for this unique lakeside site, where architecture has never been the right thing to do. Now is the time to make a bold statement about Chicago’s vision for the future: to turn a million square feet of black steel and concrete back to natural systems, back to Burnham Park, back to the people.
Public ground—a common to remain forever open, clear and free of any buildings, or other obstructions whatever. Gurdon Hubbard and William F. Thornton, 1836 Plat of Illinois

reuse foundation material
recycle steel and glass
Remove barriers and parking dead zone— opening, clearing, and freeing the lakefront
Creatively reuse and recycle materials from Lakeside Center
Recreate Chicago’s lost dune-and-swale environment
Design an arbor, prairie and wetland habitat for migrating birds and other wildlife
Green remaining McCormick Place buildings and bring landscape into the city
Filter stormwater naturally and return it to the lake
Bridge the highway barrier for public access to nature
Be true to Daniel Burnham’s Plan of Chicago: “…the lakefront by right belongs to the people.”
our PlaN for the Burnham Sanctuary creates a landscaped reprieve from the
city, with meandering paths and green quiet places, dune-and-swale landscape to support diverse native habitats, and naturally clean stormwater runoff from the vast, greened roofs of McCormick Place—returning it to Lake Michigan, not Mississippi-bound city sewers. This plan builds on and complements the recent plan for Northerly Island, connecting the new open, free and clear lakefront to the Island by seasonal ferry and tripling its natural public open space in perpetuity.
Lakeside Center’s massive foundations will be reused a short way offshore as Northerly Island’s new eastern archipelago. The Center’s steel will barge down the lake for recycling, and top soil for the sanctuary will barge up from the Illinois Waterway. The Burnham Sanctuary plan to naturalize the water’s edge and create more neighborhood access to it will make greater contributions—economic, environmental and civic—to the city’s future, by dramatically enhancing quality of life, than will a novelty repurposing of an outmoded structure.
