FIRST STUDIO SITE VISIT 'SLIVER'
MANHATTAN BUILDING
DEARBORN & CONGRESS
Additional site background material posted here
The first four weeks of the studio will be spent examining architectural detail issues using as context a site adjacent to the Manhattan Building in Chicago, designed by William Le Baron Jenney,https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan_Building_(Chicago,_Illinois). Titled “Sliver”, the project site is a vacant parcel of land just south of the Manhattan Building at the northeast corner of S Dearborn St and W Congress Pkwy. This site is a kind of residual “terrain vague” leftover from the widening of Congress. The property line site dimensions are 18’-0” x 66’-0”. We will be taking a close look at enclosure design for a simple, functional program on that site.
