2010 Chicago Prize Competition: MINE THE GAP
The Chicago Architectural Club is pleased to announce the 2010 Chicago Prize Competition: MINE THE GAP, a single-stage international design ideas competition dedicated to examining one of the most visible scars left after the collapse of the real estate market in Chicago: the massive hole along the Lake Michigan shore that was to have been—and may yet be—the foundation for a singular 150-story condominium tower designed by an internationally-renowned Spanish architect, a tower which was to have become a new icon for the city and region.
What to do with the gap? Whether or not the project is resuscitated, what else can we do with this strategic and highly-charged site? Once the motor of real-estate speculation has stalled, what can we use to propel ourselves, and the discipline, forward? You can register here.

“………the foundation for a singular 150-story condominium tower designed by an internationally-renowned Spanish architect, a tower which was to have become a new icon for the city and region.’ Really guys just after the recession ? Maybe try adding a couple extra rooms on existing buildings and reducing there embodied energy costs, use sustainable energy sources to get those big skycraper relics buzzing into the 21st century. I remeber there was an amazing Condo Condominium in Miami, that used a concrete super structure shell that was impregnated by turbines.
“Impregnated by turbines”?
