This metal-in-construction competition challenges entrants to address architectural, structural, functional, cultural, and environmental issues in designing of various facilities at the Nature Center of Northerly Island. These facilities should utilize sheet metal and other metal materials, as well as metal structural members.

The proposed project will be located on Northerly Island, a 91-acre peninsula that sits along the shoreline of Lake Michigan just south of downtown Chicago. It is the former site of the Merrill C. Meigs Field Airport. In 1995, Mayor Richard M. Daley’s office recommended closing the airport for additional parkland. Northerly Island is adjacent to the Museum Campus, a popular attraction for families and students. The design should be sensitive to the purpose of the center and the context and activities surrounding this location.

Site
The site can be considered as a blank slate. It offers a variety of options to remove, replace or adapt existing structures. Sustainability will be an important design consideration for the site and for the treatment of new and existing structures in the design. We envision the center not as a nature “museum” but as an interactive and programmed community resource. The nature center and facilities should become an extension of the Museum Campus offerings but be unique in character and purpose.

Materials
Because this facility will be open year-round, the design must meet the standard criteria for building design in the Chicago climate and also utilize “green building” concepts as defined by the USGBC’s LEED program standards. Metal should be used as the primary structural material and metal materials should be prominent in the design. Other materials may be used as well. The design should underscore the flexibility, efficiency, and effectiveness of metals in responding to the unique requirements of this facility.

Registration
Faculty members may wish to enroll all or part of their studios or classes in the competition. Students who wish to enter on their own must have a faculty sponsor. Projects may be the work of an individual or team.

Eligibility
Competition is open to upper-level (3rd year or higher) and graduate students in accredited schools of architecture. Each entrant must have a faculty sponsor. Submissions are to be principally the product of work in a design studio or related class.

Evaluation
Criteria for judging will include successful and creative use of metal in design solution and accommodations and solutions to the functional, environmental, and architectural needs and concerns involved. Key elements in the evaluation of the project will include:

- Creative use of many forms of metal in meeting both design and functional requirements
- Effectiveness in meeting the requirements of those who will use and work in the facility, in addition to the community, landscape, climate, and structural requirements
- Efficient implementation of mechanical, electrical, and external support systems
- Consideration given to preserving and improving the surrounding environment.
