Ding ding ding ding. It stopped me in my tracks!
Located in lobby of the Santa Fe (Railway Exchange) Building, the «Chicago Model» is an incredible sight.
I’d seen this awhile back and apparently, the Chicago Architecture Foundation is adding and experimenting with visually displaying data via the model. (The architecture foundation shop is in this building, entrance on Michigan and is how we originally meandered into it.)
I was talking to a volunteer the other day and he said it took 60 hours to 3D print the Sears Tower. (I think someone is calling it «Willis» now; not sure about that.) Anyway, the whole thing took about 1600 hours to print. The scale is 1″ = 50′. This made skyscrapers more detailed than most other models. It’s true — the detail is incredible.
Once you get over the breathtaking size and scale of this model –you can dig deeper into even more of what it’s about:
What role has data played in Chicago’s architecture and planning history?
Who’s turning city data into action?
What does your personal data say about you?
But most importantly: «Where are all the potholes?!» (One of the illuminations and it’s funny because it staggers in purple otherwise the whole thing would be purple!)
If these are the questions keeping you up at night or you just want to stay warm while taking in a new perspective on the city… visit the «Chicago Model.» Free, too!
