Crown Hall to Host Exhibit of Finalists for Navy Pier Redesign

Crown Hall will play host to an exhibit of Navy Pier redesign concepts during the month of February. As Navy Pier’s 100th anniversary approaches in 2016, Pier officials seek to redevelop the site’s public space to reinvigorate tourism. The Navy Pier competition began in September, drawing worldwide interest, and has winnowed down to five selected finalist teams, which include IIT’s Assistant Professor Marshall Brown, Studio Associate Professor Martin Felsen, and Adjunct Professor Terry Guen as contributors.

The finalists will present their complete visions at the Museum of Contemporary Art on January 31 - February 1. A free exhibit at the Chicago Architecture Foundation, as well as satellite exhibits around the city, including at IIT’s Crown Hall, will allow the public to take part in the process. The winning design will be chosen at the end of February.
