Tuesdays at APA Chicago's Plan for the 2016 Olympics Tuesday, July 24, 2008 • 5:00 p.m. Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP (SOM), under the direction of the City
of Chicago and Chicago 2016, has developed a Master Plan for Chicago's bid
to host the 2016 Olympic Games. Coordinating with dozens of architects, planners, engineers, and construction
firms, SOM has been a key contributor to the planning effort that resulted
in Chicago being selected to represent the U.S. in the international
phase of the bid. The plan carefully balances compactness with integration
into Chicago by placing most venues within an easy walk of transit and close
to both downtown and the lakefront. Tom Kerwin and Phil Enquist from SOM
discussed the Olympic planning process and shared their thoughts about
the potential legacy of a successful bid. CM | 1.0
