INSPIRATION: WAUKEGAN CITY HALL





Waukegan City Hall - Legat Architects

What I love about this project was that it responded to the site and existing surrounding buildings. The building is facing the existing police station forming a new plaza between the two buildings. The use of glass allows bypassers to see glimpses of government action and creates an uninterrupted connection between the public spaces and private spaces. It allows the community to have that sense of connection as people are able to use the space as a pathway (physically) and also have that visual/emotional connection due to the use of transparent materials.
