THE MOAT AND THE MAZE

Beurteilung durch das Preisgericht
The project materializes the invisible lines of Chicago Wards. Given the local governing power of wards which control zoning policies, public services, and facilities like libraries, police stations, schools and parks, the physical demarcation of these spaces have a profound impact on local neighborhoods. The Mote and the Maze focus on two Chicago neighborhoods - Beverly and Little Village - both of which, when the invisible lines of the wards are made present, make physical how the Beverly community can be seen a mote district, while Little Village’s ward lines creates a maze-like zone where the community is fractured into incoherent pieces.
