Chicago Citywide Lighting Framework Plan (CLFP) | Davis Brody Bond
Chicago / United States / 2016
The winning design for the Citywide Lighting Framework Plan (CLFP) proposes scalable ‘platforms of light’ that are grounded by the functional understanding of the networks, nodes and strata which define the City of Chicago. By utilizing the city as a canvas, the CLFP creates a series of flexible lighting platforms derived from the arts, events, architecture, landscape, information, media, and natural phenomena. These platforms provide a basis from which to revitalize infrastructure, provide social incentive, economic opportunity and a means of technological implementation. Through urban design, performance art, activation of the public realm and re-charge of the city’s collective imagination, the CLFP will transform the atmosphere of the city into a highly interactive, unique environment.
