LANDMARK DESIGNATION REPORT Garfield Park Fieldhouse (Originally the West Park Commission Administration Building) 100 N. Central Park Ave. Final Landmark recommendation adopted by the Commission on Chicago Landmarks, September 3, 2009. CITY OF CHICAGO Richard M. Daley, Mayor Department of Zoning and Planning Patricia A. Scudiero, Commissioner The Commission on Chicago Landmarks, whose ten members are appointed by the Mayor and City Council, was established in 1968 by city ordinance. The Commission is responsible for recommend- ing to the City Council which individual buildings, sites, objects, or districts should be designated as Chicago Landmarks, which protects them by law. The landmark designation process begins with a staff study and a preliminary summary of information related to the potential designation criteria. The next step is a preliminary vote by the landmarks commission as to whether the proposed landmark is worthy of consideration. This vote not only initiates the formal designation process, but it places the review of city permits for the property under the jurisdiction of the Commission until a final landmark recommendation is acted on by the City Council. This Landmark Designation Report is subject to possible revision and amendment during the designation process. Only language contained within the designation ordinance adopted by the City Council should be regarded as final. GARFIELD PARK FIELDHOUSE (Originally West Park Commission Administration Building) 100 N. Central Park Ave. Built: 1928 Architects: Michaelsen & Rognstad Chicago’s distinctive park buildings, with their exceptional architectural designs and fine craftsmanship, are notable structures in the City’s neighborhoods. The Garfield Park Fieldhouse—known to thousands of Chicagoans as the “Gold Dome Building” for its distinctive gold-leaf dome towering over Garfield Park—is a dramatic visual landmark for the surrounding Garfield Park neighborhood.

DOI: 10.4467/25438700SM.18.033.9198 KRYSTYNA PAPRZYCA* Millenium Park Chicago – Smart Project & City Millennium Park, Chicago – Smart Project & City Streszczenie W obliczu globalizacji istnieje ustawiczna konieczność poszukiwania nowych podejść do kształtowania miasta, z uwzględnie- niem przemian społeczno – ekonomicznych. Ciągła uwaga miast powinna dotyczyć przedsięwzięć zorientowanych na poprawę jakości przestrzeni miejskiej, również na zwiększenie jej atrakcyjności. Miasta atrakcyjne promują mieszkańcom nową jakość życia, kreują pozytywny wizerunek miasta, które to cechy mogą stać się motorem jego rozwoju. Przyspieszają również dopływ współczesnych czynników rozwoju : kapitału finansowego, innowacji, kreatywnych ludzi i technologii. Wprowadzenie nowych kreatywnych funkcji w przestrzeni miejskiej, powoduje nie tylko wzrost jej jakości, ale i wzrost wartości, które mają wpływ na człowieka użytkownika tej przestrzeni. Miejsca stają się atrakcyjne i unikatowe poprzez zwiększenie walorów użytkowych, spo- łecznych, kulturowych ekonomicznych. Jako przykład takiego miejsca może posłużyć Millenium Park w Chicago.

Orchard Hill Building Company purchased the Warmke parcel in 1995 with plans for a large‐ scale residential development. Not wanting to run afoul of the Clean Water Act, Orchard Hill requested a determination from the United States Army Corps of Engineers that the wetlands (or the “Warmke wetlands”) were not jurisdictional “waters of the United States.” The Corps decided that they were, and Orchard Hill has spent the last 12 years challenging that decision.” [Orchid Hill Building Co V United States Army Corps Of Engineers, No. 17-3403, 7th Circuit, 06/27/18] The Clean Water Act Gives The Army Corps Of Engineers And The EPA Authority To Determine What Constitutes A Water Of The U.S. To Help “Restore And Maintain The Chemical, Physical, And Biological Integrity Of The Nation’s Waters.” “Congress enacted the Clean Water Act in 1972 “to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the Nation’s waters.” 33 U.S.C.

Top Places to Visit in Chicago
Top Places to Visit in Chicago 1.Sears Tower When the Sears Tower was completed in 1973 it was the tallest building in the world. As of 2009, it remains the tallest skyscraper in the United States but has slipped to the world’s third tallest building. As one of the top tourist attractions in Chicago, the Sears Tower Skydeck offers visitors a spectacular view of the city. It’s located on the 103rd floor that’s 1,353 feet above the ground. Adult tickets to the skydeck start at $14.95 while children tickets begin at $10.50. The best time to visit is when the skydeck opens (times varies depending on the season) or after 6 P.M. You can find the Sears Tower at 233 South Wacker Drive or you can just head towards the really tall building. 2. Navy Pier Navy Pier is 50-acres of parks, gardens, shops, rides, restaurants and attractions. Every year over eight and half million people visit this historic playground situated on a rectangle of land jutting out into Lake Michigan. The pier’s physical address is 600 East Grand Avenue. It was built in 1916 and then renovated into its current state in the 1990’s to the tune of $200 million. At Chicago’s Navy Pier you can ride the 15-story tall McDonald’s Ferris Wheel, take your kids to the Chicago Children’s Museum or see a movie at the IMAX Theatre. The Pepsi Skyline Stage hosts countless live shows featuring everything from dancing to rock concerts.
