With its long vertical lines and neo-Gothic features, the architectural marvel that is Tribune Tower in Chicago has an unorthodox origin story. Home to the newspaper’s operations, the now-iconic building resulted from an international competition hosted in 1922 by the co-publishers. More than 260 architects from 23 countries submitted designs that would house the newspaper, with New York-based John Mead Howells and Raymond Hood ultimately winning the bid.<\/p>\n
A project by architectural cartoonist Klaus<\/a> and MAS Context<\/a> brings this history to light. “Welcome to Tribuneville: An Imaginary Vision of an Old Chicago That Could Have Been” features 60 drawings of never-made buildings submitted to the contest installed at 150 Media Stream<\/a>. Located in the lobby of 150 N. Riverside Plaza, the installation has featured several digital works across its 89 LED blades since 2017. <\/p>\n
