Every day, we navigate through our hectic daily routines, commuting to work, school, running errands, and more. We traverse loud and crowded spaces, only to find ourselves in an overworked, mundane office or classroom for the remainder of the day. In the midst of the city’s hustle and bustle, there’s a notable absence of moments for escape and relaxation. As Chicago’s downtown continues to develop and expand, many public projects, both old and new, contribute to the overwhelming and frantic experience of urban life. The goal of this project is to offer a surreal and tranquil escape from the city’s chaos. Individuals will have the freedom to use and explore the space at their own pace, crafting their own unique experience. This multi-layered public space aims to defy the rigidity of urban life and provide an oasis-like retreat within the city itself.
