AECOM and BIG's design concept for the Navy Pier competition has been released on YouTube. We were part of the presenting team to the jury and at the public debate in Chicago - you can view the full presentation here.

We took a strategic and holistic view of the lighting on Navy Pier to ensure that energy usage was appropriate to seasonal change, programatic variations and the fluctuating visitor population. Interactive and responsive lighting allows visitors and loyalty card holders to control and play with light across the Pier, specifically on a low resolution screen opposite the ferris wheel.

The winner of the competition will be announced later this month.
