Chicago Architecture Foundation - CAF

The Chicago Architecture Foundation’s first ever design competition, soliciting ideas and visions for an imagined learning campus in downtown Chicago called the Chicago Architecture, Design + Education Center (CADE).

The CADE campus would encompass a new headquarters, visitor center, and exhibition spaces for the Chicago Architecture Foundation, a new headquarters for the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, a design and allied arts high school, and flexible learning spaces for out-of-school-time youth programs. CADE will be a new kind of learning campus that will not only equip young people with 21st century design skills, but serve as a model for the way the design of education centers can be more efficient and interactive, bringing multiple communities into one modern learning space.
