Visitor Information Center

Chicago, IL

The City of Chicago Visitor Information Center has essentially the same programmatic purpose as the World Wide Web: a flowing interactive space within which people (purposefully and/or randomly) meet, communicate and exchange information. The facade of the Visitor Info Center is activated by site-specific and city-specific information, and continuously adjusts as different events unfold around the city. Environmental information such as the weather, noise and events are displayed on the exterior facade to create a subtle and ever-changing montage of mediated info-color. The interior facade is a user-friendly interactive map that displays popular destinations/events around the city.
