CHICAGO ARCHITECTURE BIENNIAL LAKEFRONT KIOSK COMPETITION
CONTAINER+SHELL
OUR DESIGN SEEKS TO EMBODY THE SPIRIT OF CHICAGO IN A BEACON THAT ACTIVATES THE LAKEFRONT DURING ALL SEASONS AT ALL TIMES OF DAY AND NIGHT. CHICAGO GREW TO A METROPOLIS BECAUSE IT SITS AT THE INTERSECTION OF RAIL AND SHIPPING. AS THE CITY DEVELOPED, ITS CHARACTER WAS SHAPED BY THE INTERSECTION OF INDUSTRY AND ARTS AND CULTURE. OUR DESIGN REFLECTS THIS HISTORY THROUGH THE INTERSECTION OF AN INTERMODAL SHIPPING CONTAINER AND A DYNAMIC SHELL. WHEN OPEN, THE SHELL ACTIVATES THE SITE AROUND IT BY DEFINING ADJACENT AREAS AND CREATING A GATEWAY TO THE LAKEFRONT. WHEN CLOSED, IT PROVIDES A DISTINCTIVE LANDMARK THAT CAN BE SEEN FROM FAR DOWN THE SHORELINE. THE INTERMODAL CONTAINER PROVIDES DURABILITY, SECURITY, MOBILITY, AND AFFORDABILITY WHILE RECALLING CHICAGO’S TRANSPORTATION ROOTS. THE UNION OF THE TWO PARTS CREATES A SOLUTION THAT MEETS ALL PROJECT CONSTRAINTS AND RESONATES WITH THE CITY.
