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.</p>
