University of Illinois at Chicago Center for the Arts

摘要

The historic Walter Netsch campus at the University of Illinois at Chicago was conceived as an adaptable architectural network; interconnected communal and social spaces were intended to facilitate learning and sharing and unify buildings across the campus. The new UIC Center for the Arts advances these original architectural aspirations in a contemporary building, presenting an opportunity to showcase the important role of the arts in the university through an iconic and highly functional building that serves the campus and the city. This building will realize aspects of Netsch's vision for Project Y, which intended to combine a public concert hall, theater, and cultural spaces to create, in Netsch's words, "the Lincoln Center of Chicago."
