WORKS explores the linkages between ways we design our cities and ways we treat our resources, between stuff we make and things we waste, and between design ideas and disciplinary ideals. It is a medium for speculation, experimentation, and discussion on the future of urbanism in Chicago, the City that Works.

WORKS is a collaboration with Rick Valicenti of thirst.
