The Meteorite, a laying skyscraper
The Meteorite is an artainmet center for Chicago that landmarks and reuses the gap left by a financially unsuccessful project for a condominium tower. The idea is to provide the city with a unique space for the unconventional arts conceived as a non-museum nor theater format. The building is designed as a sequence of spaces that can be climbed upward and downward just to find a variety of exhibitions, performances, installations, screenings, interactive art shows and all sorts of ever changing unconventional artainment experiences…
The Meteorite is a horizontal skyscraper that roofs the entire site at the lake-shore. The structure generates a covered plaza designed as an extensive green platform. The design is configured by three elements: the laying skyscraper, the black box and the covered plaza. These spaces are connected through a series of elevators, escalators, staircases, bridges and ramps that configure a system of circulations, both, horizontal and vertical that secures access to the whole complex.The existing foundations are mined and reinforced in order to produce a large concrete black-box. The top is treated as a green plaza that extends towards the lake. The floating horizontal skyscraper is a steel-frame structure wrapped around with rusted steel (COR-TEN?) perforated panels with larger holes where required to allow selected views.
