James Corner Field Operations (JCFO) is one of five shortlisted teams invited to participate in an international design competition to renovate and reactivate Chicago’s landmark Navy Pier. Unveiled to the public last month, the goal of the intervention is to refocus the experience of the pier to the lakeside. This is an opportunity for the city to reassess what the waterfront means to an urban center and the character of its identity.

The JCFO Team focused on reconnecting people to the theatrical and social pleasures of the dock.  Their challenges – Character, Clarity, and Cadence – produced solutions of connectivity, linkage, image, identity and proximity – all in relationship to the water.  The design proposal focuses on the sensory experience, engagement and enjoyment of lakefront activity.
