The Burnham Pavilions

In homage to the urban plan of Chicago by Daniel Burnham and Edward Bennett in 1909, the architects Zaha Hadid (London) and Ben van Berkel (UN Studios-Amsterdam) designed a temporary pavilion to be exposed in Millennium Park . The two structures were there in 2009, from summer until the first of November. The importance of the 1909 plan was that, for the first time, citizens had a say about their city and its projects, a management model that is now known in many cities as the citizen participation plan.
