Chicago City Maze

2009 - 2010

Project site: Chicago, USA

Chicago is renowned for its architectural heritage, yet the city faced significant social challenges related to housing. Through a series of walking explorations in the Loop area of downtown Chicago, I engage directly with local residents, heard their personal stories, and gained insight into the complex social realities that contrasted with the city’s celebrated urban fabric. This process reveals the often overlooked struggles and inequalities embedded within the city’s landscape.
