Between States: 50 Designers Transform Chicago’s Neighborhoods is an ambitious showcase of 50 community-based design solutions to transform underappreciated and underperforming spaces in Chicago into rejuvenated civic anchors. Part of the 2017 Chicago Architecture Biennial, we developed a pattern language that was incorporated throughout the exhibition’s identity and visual vocabulary to allude to the potential for transformation and permeability between solid, liquid, and gaseous states.

“This exhibition is the latest in CAF’s multi-year 50 Designers/50 Wards investigation, which explores how designers and residents might equally participate in identifying growth opportunities within all of Chicago’s neighborhoods.” — Chicago Architecture Foundation
