Lake Street Green Pocket Square

This installation at the 2011 Chicago Flower and Garden Show is a collaboration with Drea Howenstein, Anders nereim, John Manning, Laurel Bancroft and Lauren Thomas. With the support of industrial partners (Blachère Illumination, Hampshire Farm, Tournesol Siteworks) the installation was a preview of a landscape design to come at 10 East Lake, in Chicago’s Loop. Commissioned by a consortium that includes the WIT Hotel, ComEd, the City Colleges of Chicago and School of the Art Institute, the student designed project, curated by Odile Compagnon and Drea Howenstein, will give a facelift to a left over space and an existing power station.
