  • Report and Opinion
    Report and Opinion Concerning the Impact of the Proposed Obama Presidential Center on the Cultural Landscape of Jackson Park, Chicago, Illinois Including the Project’s Compatibility with Basic Policies of the Lakefront Plan of Chicago and the Purposes of the Lake Michigan and Chicago Lakefront Protection Ordinance By: Malcolm D. Cairns, FASLA Ball State University Muncie, Indiana May 15, 2018 Assessing the Effect of the Proposed Obama Presidential Center on the Historic Landscape of Jackson Park Prepared by: Malcolm Cairns, FASLA; Historic Landscape Consultant For: The Barack Obama Foundation Date: May 15, 2018 Statement of purpose and charge: To develop the historic landscape analysis that places the proposal to locate the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago’s Jackson Park in its proper historic context. This investigation was undertaken at the request of Richard F. Friedman of the law firm of Neal & Leroy, LLC, on behalf of the Barack Obama Foundation. The assignment was to investigate the proposed Obama Presidential Center master plan and to assess the effect of the project on the historic cultural landscape of Jackson Park, Chicago, a park listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This investigation has necessitated a thorough review of the cultural landscape history of Jackson Park, the original South Park, of which Jackson Park was an integral part, and of the history of the Chicago Park and Boulevard system. Critical in this landscape research were previous studies which resulted in statements of historic landscape significance and historic integrity, studies which listed historic landscape character-defining elements, and other documentation which provided both large and small scale listings of historic landscape form, structure, detail, and design intent which contribute to the historic character of the Park.

The redesigned map should be practical and able to be used in the real world. My choice on the New York State Park is the Central Park in Manhatten New York. I Chose Central Park because of my own experience. As a first time visitor in New York last year, I visited Central Park with my cousin who has been living in NewYork for seven years. While I was doing my research, I did not find any map for first-time visitors from the central park official website. If I were on my own while I first visited Central Park, I would not be able to know where to begin my visit. I am sure that the other first-time visitors would have the same problem. These are the reasons that my map is designed for first-time visitors who have a limited amount of time. In my map, I featured several top attractions in and around the park. I also included some top-rated restaurants around and inside the park since Knowing where to consume good food is essential during visiting.
