Titled &ldquo;Sliver&rdquo;, 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 &ldquo;terrain vague&rdquo; leftover from the widening of Congress. The property line site dimensions are 18&rsquo;-0&rdquo; x 66&rsquo;-0&rdquo;. We will be taking a close look at enclosure design for a simple, functional program on that site.</p>
