Burnham Plan Centennial Committee, Metropolis 2020 and the City of Chicago celebrated the centenary of the Burnham Plan of Chicago by commissioning Zaha Hadid Architects to design a pavilion and The Gray Circle to create a floor-to-ceiling multi-layered video installation about Chicago.
Researching Chicago's history, filming over hundreds of locations across the city and interviewing 56 prominate Chicagoans and local school childern, our team accomplished a striking, 7 1/2 minute film installation
“The installation, which evocatively conveys sounds and images of Burnham's Chicago as well as visions for tomorrow's metropolis, is crucial to cluing in parkgoers this is a pavilion with a purpose, not a mere folly."
