(mentor) Faculty Architecture and The Built Environment Department Architecture Programme Complex Projects Date 2015-10-29 Abstract The project deals with the decay of the social and built environment in West Chicago. It reflects on the rise of the artificial environment, theoretical thoughts from V. GRUEN as well as the materialistic condition of the built as potential reasons for the decay in the area. The building design is a new city centre in the decentralized west of Chicago. It offers many public functions that build up on old american settlements. It furthermore reuses wood, concrete and bricks from the decaying buildings in the area and works energy autark through a passive energy strategy. The typology of the roof embraces - old buildings, the public space with its functions and last but not least its users.
