In the West Loop of Chicago, this Music Hall sits in Greektown, within walking distance of the University of Illinois at Chicago campus. With an abundance of stores and access to a popular sector of Chicago’s downtown, this site was a challenge to our ideation of using egress, ADA, and circulation properties in a design that was both unique as well as inspiring.
The main driver of the building was to study the properties of symmetry and rhythm as a design principle while also playing with circulation and organization of applicable programs, such as the third floor, which uses natural lighting from the library, which itself faces the southernmost part of the site.

In the urban backyard of campus the historic downtown area of Champaign. This included an Urban analysis of the site and written accounts to help add to the futuristic nature of a space that could be utilized differently in the future.
The proponant of this project was my study on light and how to manipulate it in different parts of the site. For intstance from the south a viewer can see the elevators going up and down, casting a shadow on the wall implying movment between floors with light and inanimate people.
An intergrated art gallery was the inspiration for the ground floor which allows for public access to those with all abilities. It functions as one of the essential spaces that incorporates the outdoors with the indoors.
