CHICAGO FIRE STADIUM

The Chicago Fire Soccer Stadium was a project done in Studio 709 while attending the University of Kansas. The intention behind it was to revitalize an urban district of Chicago as an entertainment district. Our approach was to develop a sustainable urban planning agenda and pursue a building that fit into the context of that. Our building emphasized the four corners where pedestrian paths intersected as well as a walkable approach from the north and east sides of the building in the newly developed areas. Subsequently, retail would be provided beneath the main concourse and individuals would proceed to the second level to pursue game day activities.
