This project proposes the revitalization of this abandoned area through the development of a new community called Lakeshore-City. The design of the new city is informed by the social and economic issues that have kept South Chicago in a poor condition since the closing of the mill and it is based on the solutions to those issues. Through adding diversified program, enhancing connectivity, and encouraging human interaction, the built design of the new city attempts to create a contemporary and socially sustainable living environment that can bring new prosperity to its surrounding neighborhood.<img src="http://payload112.cargocollective.com/1/2/71725/4540193/sc-condt.jpg" width="350" height="350" width_o="350" height_o="350" src_o="http://payload112.cargocollective.com/1/2/71725/4540193/sc-condt_o.jpg" data-mid="24132405" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload112.cargocollective.com/1/2/71725/4540193/program.jpg" width="350" height="350" width_o="350" height_o="350" src_o="http://payload112.cargocollective.com/1/2/71725/4540193/program_o.jpg" data-mid="24132403" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload112.cargocollective.com/1/2/71725/4540193/block.jpg" width="350" height="350" width_o="350" height_o="350" src_o="http://payload112.cargocollective.com/1/2/71725/4540193/block_o.jpg" data-mid="24132396" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload112.cargocollective.com/1/2/71725/4540193/blocks.jpg" width="350" height="350" width_o="350" height_o="350" src_o="http://payload112.cargocollective.com/1/2/71725/4540193/blocks_o.jpg" data-mid="24132398" border="0" align="left"/> After the collapse of the steel industry, the US Steel South Works plant left behind a vacant 600-acre area of lakefront land and thousands of unemployed workers... http://www.isidakarpuzi.com/Photography http://www.isidakarpuzi.com/following/isidakarpuzi.com/Photography Mon, 02 Jan 2012 17:30:44 +0000 isidaworks 2533874 This is the architectural part of my Flickr photostream.

The shelter needs to protect the student from the weather elements while making them consider human needs for safety and comfort, as well as the relationship between architecture and place. My design enables the student to focus amongst the views of Chicago and the lake. When it is necessary the perforated panels can close to provide complete privacy. Corten steel performs well in cold climates and it was chosen to enclose the structure from snow, water and wind.
