When I researched restaurant row, as a place to assemble as a community, i noticed an opportunity to bridge two urban zones. First, the zone containing a residential public, restaurants, and other urban amenities. And secondly, the neighboring industrial zone, containing factories and a working public. The third public is the student population.
Both areas are zipped together by Chicago’s iconic “l” metro- this rail line in particular hovers along west lake street, a block north of restaurant row.
I am interested in how industry and consumers work in tandem in our society as dependents; one activates the other creating conditions of stillness in time as well as action.
