City Works: Provocation for Chicago’s
Urban Future

Expo Gallery 72, Chicago, Illinois
May 24 – September 29, 2013

Curator: Alexander Eisenschmidt

The Phantom Chicago panorama was originally produced for the 13th Architecture Biennale in Venice (2012). This drawing is generated solely through unbuilt visionary proposals for the city. As a part of the production and design team for this project, sections and elevations were drawn based on historical records and informed assumptions. As many of these projects were underrepresented, the panorama simultaneously records and invents, while creating a new urban landscape.

Team Members of the Visionary Cities Project: Matthew van der Ploeg, Jonathan Mac Gillis, Senaid Salcin, Mark Cunningham, Senada Imsirovic, Alex Sorell, and John Tisza.
