Although no
chance of realization for the project currently exists, the
effect of the project is twofold: to illustrate the creative
possibilities of the City of Chicago's Central Area Plan and
to create a dialogue within the city (if not beyond) for architects
and the city to propose large-scale, sustainable solutions to
existing problems within the city fabric. With the recent expansion
of office spaces west of the Loop, and the concurrent expansion
of the University of Illinois and other west-side developments,
Johnson's Green Corridor is a relevant, if dreamlike vision
for the future unification of these two areas.
