Last week's dose featured a project that responded to the City of Chicago's Central Area Plan (CAP) by providing parkland over the Kennedy Expressway. This week's feature is the first-prize winning scheme for a competition, also responding to the CAP and sponsored by the Chicago Architecture Club, to design a parking garage adjacent to the Kennedy. The following text and images (click for larger and expanded views) are by the winner Dan Rappel, with Kevin Shellenbach and Isabela Gould.

Grounded upon sustainable strategies in both form and program, this entry alleviates traffic as it symbolically addresses Chicago's urgent need for new, creative solutions to congestion in the Central Area Plan.
