“Our rivers are already tremendous assets, but they hold the potential for much more.”
—Rahm Emanuel, Mayor of Chicago
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. Ultimately, these ideas and the public input we will be gathering from this website and the exhibition will inform the development of updated river edge design guidelines for future projects along the Chicago River.
All firm visions will be displayed as part of an interactive exhibit at Expo 72 and also as part of a smaller traveling exhibit at various locations and neighborhoods throughout the city. The exhibits are part of the 2017 Chicago Architecture Biennial programming.
Mon–Thu 8am–7pm / Fri 8am–6pm / Sat 9am–6pm / Sun 10am–6pm
The primary exhibition and traveling exhibition will both close on January 7, 2018.
