Research reflection

The initial research helped to identify problems within the district of the site as well as showed their impact in a scale of a city of Chicago. However, in order to have those assumptions, the analysis were divided into three stages. Firstly, an extensive research was initiated including the collection of hard data and the use of media helped to form the perception about Chicago and particularly South Chicago, the location of the project. Secondly, the validity of the collected knowledge was tested during the field trip, which revealed false public perception through media about South Chicago and by meeting and interviewing various people became evident that architectural intervention couldn’t help in the existing political context. And thirdly, the collected knowledge and experience was translated into an urban strategy by criticising current legitimate base and general developments policy within the range of Chicago to address the most outstanding issues with proposed development alternative in the district of South Chicago. Therefore, design proposal had intended to focus not on solving issues such as high unemployment, low education and high crime rate within the district, but rather identifying a major problem causing these problems to occur, which turned out to be that people stuck in a loop of problems, where problems enhancing each other. To break that loop the long term system is being proposed, which would reduce the magnitude of the problems by engaging community in the overall design development. In order to achieve that goal, the gradual approach was chosen, where project with diverse program is taking place as a catalyst, the first step in community’s engagement. Due to that, by referring to the proposed urban strategy for the entire area, it was necessary to create a flexible framework, which would be able to adapt through time. As a result, based on successful scenario the social and economic impact on the community of South Chicago would grow gradually in parallel with the development of the project by expanding the proximity to the whole city of Chicago.

In relation to the theme of the studio (Complex Projects) the reason for choosing the location is well defined by exposing the complexity of interrelating issues within the area. Therefore, in order to grasp the scale of the problems the extensive research as mentioned, is a part of studio’s approach. Additionally, the research also consisted of multiple case studies analysis, to understand how it is dealt with similar problems worldwide. By using the same methodology multiple case studies both building and public spaces were analysed to define the size and composite of the program for chosen design goal.

Research Conclusions


Routine Regular day in the neighbourhood

“Its lack of diversity in education systems. It’s all left brain learning, it’s very rigid learning, their creative and athletic side is not touched. They are not getting people who are believing in them, there are no opportunities to get jobs, and if there are no jobs why wouldn’t you hustle drugs on streets.”

21/ South Makes

From Interview (2013 10 15) with SARAH WARD Happy Art Center


Problems People stuck in the loop

No freetime activities There is lack of amenities preventing kids from attending gangs and reducing employment possibilities, while gang zones is the reason of the lacking

High unemployment Gone industrial anchor left crippled community with degrading education and increasing violence instead

Low education
