  • Streeterville Neighborhood Plan 2014 Update II August 18, 2014
    Streeterville Neighborhood Plan 2014 update II August 18, 2014 Dear Friends, The Streeterville Neighborhood Plan (“SNP”) was originally written in 2005 as a community plan written by a Chicago community group, SOAR, the Streeterville Organization of Active Resi- dents. SOAR was incorporated on May 28, 1975. Throughout our history, the organization has been a strong voice for conserving the historic character of the area and for development that enables divergent interests to live in harmony. SOAR’s mission is “To work on behalf of the residents of Streeterville by preserving, promoting and enhancing the quality of life and community.” SOAR’s vision is to see Streeterville as a unique, vibrant, beautiful neighborhood. In the past decade, since the initial SNP, there has been significant development throughout the neighborhood. Streeterville’s population has grown by 50% along with new hotels, restaurants, entertainment and institutional buildings creating a mix of uses no other neighborhood enjoys. The balance of all these uses is key to keeping the quality of life the highest possible. Each com- ponent is important and none should dominate the others. The impetus to revising the SNP is the City of Chicago’s many new initiatives, ideas and plans that SOAR wanted to incorporate into our planning document. From “The Pedestrian Plan for the City”, to “Chicago Forward”, to “Make Way for People” to “The Redevelopment of Lake Shore Drive” along with others, the City has changed its thinking of the downtown urban envi- ronment. If we support and include many of these plans into our SNP we feel that there is great- er potential for accomplishing them together.

  • The Great Unwashed Public Baths in Urban America, 1840-1920
    Washiîi! The Great Unwashed Public Baths in Urban America, 1840-1920 a\TH5 FOR Marilyn Thornton Williams Washing "The Great Unwashed" examines the almost forgotten public bath movement of the nineteenth and early twentieth cen­ turies—its origins, its leaders and their motives, and its achievements. Marilyn Williams surveys the development of the American obsession with cleanliness in the nineteenth century and discusses the pub­ lic bath movement in the context of urban reform in New York, Baltimore, Philadel­ phia, Chicago, and Boston. During the nineteenth century, personal cleanliness had become a necessity, not only for social acceptability and public health, but as a symbol of middle-class sta­ tus, good character, and membership in the civic community. American reformers believed that public baths were an impor­ tant amenity that progressive cities should provide for their poorer citizens. The bur­ geoning of urban slums of Irish immi­ grants, the water cure craze and other health reforms that associated cleanliness with health, the threat of epidemics—es­ pecially cholera—all contributed to the growing demand for public baths. New waves of southern and eastern European immigrants, who reformers perceived as unclean and therefore unhealthy, and in­ creasing acceptance of the germ theory of disease in the 1880s added new impetus to the movement. During the Progressive Era, these fac­ tors coalesced and the public bath move­ ment achieved its peak of success. Between 1890 and 1915 more than forty cities constructed systems of public baths.

Northwestern University Law Review Vol. 107, No. 3 Articles CONTESTED SHORE: PROPERTY RIGHTS IN RECLAIMED LAND AND THE BATTLE FOR STREETERVILLE Joseph D. Kearney & Thomas W. Merrill ABSTRACT-Land reclaimed from navigable waters is a resource uniquely susceptible to conflict. The multiple reasons for this include traditional hostility to interference with navigable waterways and the weakness of rights in submerged land. In Illinois, title to land reclaimed from Lake Michigan was further clouded by a shift in judicial understanding in the late nineteenth century about who owned the submerged land, starting with an assumption of private ownership but eventually embracing state ownership. The potential for such legal uncertainty to produce conflict is vividly illustrated by the history of the area of Chicago known as Streeterville, the area of reclaimed land along Lake Michigan north of the Chicago River and east of Michigan Avenue.

  • (CRL) the CRL Is Located in the Clark Adams Building 210 South Clark
    Directions to the CDR Chicago Research Lab (CRL) The CRL is located in the Clark Adams Building 210 South Clark Street (Clark and Adams), Suite 1510 (entrance to building is across the street from the Post Office) All visitors to the Clark Adams building, including all RAs and participants, must sign-in and present a photo ID at the security desk in the lobby of the building upon entering and exiting. If you will regularly visit or work at the CRL, notify Becky in order for her to arrange to get you a security pass for the building, as well as for the CRL. The Clark Adams is easily reached by many forms of public transportation. There is very limited metered street parking available in front of the building ($6.50/hour), as well as nearby pay parking lots (about $30+/day). Taking public transportation will be the most cost-effective option for travel to the Clark Adams, from Hyde Park as well as the rest of the city. A transportation map appears at the end of this document. Visit the following link for a complete series of CTA and METRA system maps: http://www.transitchicago.com/maps/. Google transit is another good resource for reviewing transit options between locations: http://www.google.com/transit. Travel by METRA train Web site: www.metrarail.com Metra's Electric line, which runs through Hyde Park, is a convenient option for reaching the CRL from Hyde Park. The closest stop to the CRL is at the Van Buren Station (at Van Buren and Michigan).

  • The Architecture of Josef Paul Kleihues Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago
    THE ARCHITECTURE OF MUSEUM OF JOSEF PAUL KLEIHUES CONTEMPORARY ART CHICAGO SIMPLICITY, OPENNESS, QUIET, ORIGINS AS WELL AS THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN TRANSPARENCY AND The Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago’s building represents a unique CONTAINMENT—THESE WILL combination of historical references and architectural innovations. BE THE KEY ELEMENTS. While the symmetric plaza and monumental staircase evoke the entrances of antique structures such as the Pergamon Altar and the Propylaea —JOSEF PAUL KLEIHUES, 1988 of the Acropolis, the museum’s modern form is reminiscent of the cast- iron, Prairie School style of Louis Sullivan, as well as the mid-century minimalism of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, whose work also profoundly shaped the architecture of Chicago. The MCA broke ground for its new building at 220 East Chicago Avenue —once the site of a National Guard Armory—in 1993. The building’s unusual design provoked mixed reactions from critics and neighbors when construction was completed in 1996 but has since been recognized for its singular and lasting addition to the city’s rich architectural history. THE ARCHITECTURE OF MUSEUM OF FACTS & SPECIFICATIONS JOSEF PAUL KLEIHUES CONTEMPORARY ART CHICAGO 1.1 The MCA contains approximately 40,000 square feet of gallery space, an education center of more than 8,000 square feet, and a 300-seat theater. 2 3 ARCHITECT LOCATION Architect Josef Paul Kleihues (German, 1933–2004) studied architecture in For the design of his first US commission, Kleihues found inspiration in the Berlin and began his career there in 1962. After Germany’s reunification work of Chicago architects, including Dankmar Adler, David Adler, and in 1989, Kleihues became an influential voice in urban planning discussions Louis Sullivan, as well as William Le Baron Jenney, Daniel Burnham, and about the future of the rapidly modernizing capital, using his concept of John Root, whose use of cast iron shaped Kleihues’s choice of materials.
