A Futuristic 150-Foot Installation Imagines Chicago’s Never-Built Architecture
With its long vertical lines and neo-Gothic features, the architectural marvel that is Tribune Tower in Chicago has an unorthodox origin story. Home to the newspaper’s operations, the now-iconic building resulted from an international competition hosted in 1922 by the co-publishers. More than 260 architects from 23 countries submitted designs that would house the newspaper, with New York-based John Mead Howells and Raymond Hood ultimately winning the bid.
A project by architectural cartoonist Klaus and MAS Context brings this history to light. “Welcome to Tribuneville: An Imaginary Vision of an Old Chicago That Could Have Been” features 60 drawings of never-made buildings submitted to the contest installed at 150 Media Stream. Located in the lobby of 150 N. Riverside Plaza, the installation has featured several digital works across its 89 LED blades since 2017.

Thank you! And I'm so sorry it took me so long to respond, sometimes when I get video reccs it takes me a while to get to 'em :D
I used to work next to the Tribune Tower, and I liked to go wander around the exterior on breaks and look at all the bits of other buildings built into the Trib.
