Chicago Union Station

'chicago union station' by german architectural firm graft will treat the user group as two: the traveler and the inhabitant. The traveler has a destination, a purpose, a need to get through the process as efficiently as possible. the penetration into the site will be minimal; the tickets purchased en route, the space and time between the city and the outbound areas are optimized. the personal vehicle becomes the station, the station merely an access point; a promise to distant possibilities.

Chicago Union Station

The inhabitant seeks an extended stay; the coffee shop, the sunday morning market, life anchored to the city. the station becomes a rock jutting out of a raging river. the place of the inhabitant is at the center of the chaos, a place to better experience the city, a place to relax, a place to watch the chaos unfold. a space reserved for those staying, hot for those leaving.

Chicago Union Station
