  • 1 / 1

    Project entry 2011 - Environmental center and bird-watching facility using recycled materials, Chicago, IL, United States: Auditorium for public learning.

The jury acknowledges the maturity of the overall concept based on a fully integrated design, construction and technology principle. The surprising sourcing of the materials is a convincing strategy, perfectly matching the project, which possesses a dimension for repetition, at least as a principle for the awareness for resources. The careful approach to bird protection while encroaching into their habitat enables the protection program and is complimented by the educational capacity of the project.
