Week 9 was a very eventful week: from an elevator mishap to a site visit and concept collages, we had a few adventures but most importantly started thinking about the project in its context and how we envision it.

We had a site visit to our project location in the South Loop, and were able to understand the kinds of buildings and programs that surround the site, how the train could possibly affect the activities within the building and who could benefit from a project such as a short stack in that location, full of student life.

When we came back to AS+GG, we divided into three groups and started working on collages that will represent the design concept. Next week we will start by finishing these and hopefully have an interesting conversation about all the possibilities for our project.
