Nine leading architectural firms with experience in developing innovative riverfronts, parks, and public spaces, were engaged to provide their visions for a unified aesthetic along Chicago’s riverfront.
Three iconic sites were chosen because of their typical condition that is found throughout the city’s river system: a building edge, an open space edge, and a bridge edge. Each condition has unique challenges in providing an activated and unified river walk system.
A selection of the River Lab concepts are on display at the Chicago Architecture Foundation.
