Can educational partners come together under one roof to create a new model for learning in Chicago?

Chicago Architecture Foundation (CAF) posed this question through ChiDesign, an open international ideas competition. Design proposals submitted to this competition are presented here with the jury-awarded winners highlighted below. These ideas draw attention to the importance of rethinking urban education and next generation cultural institutions. As cities search for solutions to complex issues around space and resource management, CAF is committed to advancing this important community dialogue.
