Eco||Tones (2004)


Chicago’s celebrated recreational lakefront ends abruptly seven miles north of the Loop. Seeking ideas for a two-mile extension, the Graham Foundation sponsored a competition “for a 21st-century park: A vision for the extension of Lincoln Park.” This project, created in collaboration with Kate Orff and Natalie Jeremijenko, was one of six finalists. It imagined ooZ, a reverse form of “urban zoo” in which humans respond to agendas set by wildlife, as well as a redesign strategy to enhance a series of microclimates at the water’s edge, which clean the lake, and double function as a park.
