SUMMARY:Rewilding Chicago’s Waterways
DESCRIPTION:The Wild Mile is one-of-a-kind: a floating eco-park in the heart of the city. Visit this steadily growing wonder on the North Branch of the Chicago River for a conversation\, walking tour\, and optional kayak adventure with co-creators Urban Rivers and Skidmore\, Owings & Merrill (SOM). Backed by the City of Chicago as part of a larger effort to redefine and rehabilitate this channelized section of the river\, a team of experts and community partners devised the Wild Mile as proof-of-concept in how industrial waterways can be reborn as wildlife sanctuaries connecting city dwellers to nature. In 2022\, the first 400 feet of what will ultimately be an intricate mile-long network of floating boardwalks and wetlands debuted along the North Branch Canal behind the Kingsbury Street REI store. This spring an extension is underway that will double the park’s length. Urban Rivers co-founder and Executive Director Nick Wesley and SOM Partner Doug Voigt will share fascinating details of the design\, planning and lengthy negotiations behind this undertaking\, and give tours of the new landscape and habitat. Come discover the thriving ecosystem that has quickly taken hold above and below the water’s surface! This program is part of the Chicago Architecture Center’s Loop as Lab: Reshaping Downtowns exhibition series exploring key themes for the future of cities. \nDue to space limitations\, this event is capped at 40 registrants. Those interested in the kayak tour should reserve an extra hour (until 7pm)\, which is first come first served with a maximum capacity of 8 participants. This option will be available upon checkout.

SUMMARY:Issues in Focus: Two Stadium Do-Overs for Chicago
DESCRIPTION:A pair of stadium proposals from the Bears and White Sox have ushered in supersized dreams for Chicago’s Museum Campus and The 78 megadevelopment site. Are these plans pointing the city toward wins\, losses or draws? Get a fresh take from our panel of designers. \nWhether you are a fan of professional sports or not\, we can all agree it’s big business. The sheer scale of these stadium proposals present opportunities to revisit past urban planning efforts\, to analyze major infrastructure needs and to forge new visions for our city. \nOur panel brings extensive out-of-town experience to the myriad issues concerning stadium design and sports district planning. Learn about the approaches that have fueled successful stadium rebuilds in other U.S. cities and current design trends that are foregrounding sound urban design and connectivity. This program will help you better understand the complexities and possibilities for city-building with major sports franchises. \nThis program is part of our Loop as Lab: Reshaping Downtowns exhibition series exploring key themes for the future of downtowns.
