The Chicago studio offers a broad research part conducted to identify real world problems through different scales and asks the contemporary Urban Question, how to deal, as architects, with the complexity of the current urban situation in relation to politics, socio-economical issues and spatial relevance. From this research they leave you the possibility to state the real problems, define the needed criteria and opportunities to come up with an architectural solution that deals and reflects these current problems. This type of studio is interesting, because it covers all architectural/urban scenarios and possibilities to explore all facets, to further develop your strengths, but also enables the chance to strengthen areas in your skillset that you are not that familiar with. The Project is all about how to get gains for socially deprived areas and communities. Search for their opportunities to create a society that is beneficial for themselves their community and possibly for the rest of the world. In Chicago this means to search for the opportunity to create a skilled workforce for future digital industrial revolution that is taking place right now. The building reflects the political issues of governmental spending on education in relation to tax money. It shows the possibilities of non educated members of society. and it creates collaboration at the heart where it is needed and supports accidental meeting by using the gains of multi model public transport systems in the largest model City of the USA.
