2018 Chicago Architecture Club Competition

Every 2 years, the Chicago Architecture Club hosts an international design competition. In 2018, the theme of the competition was “Crossing the Line”. 
​David Schroeder Architects collaborated with Fieldwork Design Group on the winning entry.
​
​Connect the Dots re-envisions Chicago spatially by reclaiming city parks, boulevards, and parkways as bird and pollinator habitats and establishes migratory routes through policies that prevent pesticide use within Chicago and requires seeding of vacant lots with pollinators. The proposal sets both a spatial and policy-oriented agenda to maintain and enliven needed ecologies both for the benefit of all species.
