Healy Architects, of Boston, Massachusetts,
for their first-place submission to the Chicago Housing Authority's
(with the City of Chicago and the NEA) competition for a new

We are rooted in our homes just as a
plant is rooted in the soil. The desire to establish roots, however,
is tempered by a widespread restlessness that is deeply embedded
in the American grain and leads to personal migrations that continually
transform our landscape. This site for mixed-income housing is
a prime example of a protean urban landscape. |
