| 3 ACRES ON THE LAKE: DUSABLE PARK PROPOSAL PROJECT Initiated by Laurie Palmer |
|||||
| Type: Open, ideas Registration Deadline: May 15, 2001 Submission Deadline: May 15, 2001 Open to: All Entry Fee: None Awards: See below Jury: See below DuSable Park is a three-acre plot of undeveloped lakefront property at the mouth of the Chicago River in downtown Chicago. We are collecting visionary ideas for how this public land might be used. Plans have been drawn up since 1987 to develop it into a park commemorating the Haitian/French explorer, Jean Baptiste Point DuSable, the first settler in Chicago, but the park's development has been repeatedly postponed. In how many ways might DuSable be commemorated? We are looking for proposals that express a diversity of interests, backgrounds, philosophies, creativity, and concerns, and that recognize this as an opportunity to engage questions about public space, urban landscapes, and commemorative histories. Proposals will be presented in an exhibition and published as a book. (This project is not affiliated in any way with the Chicago Park District or the City of Chicago and there is no obligation to realize any of the plans). This project differs from a design competition in that the purpose is not to select the best solution but to generate many.
