The changing face of Chicago architecture—in structures old, new and yet to be—will always be newsworthy. Here, we track the buzz and battles, building context around a city’s issues as they unfold.
What buildings will arrive to affect the city’s architectural environment? Which Chicago structures and areas are prime candidates for adaptive reuse? What new projects under construction will we be talking about most? In Evolving Chicago, we will be listening, looking ahead and letting you know what’s happening around the city.
