I am like the guy who invented this game...

Can't you understand?

Milwaukee Plans in Northern Logan Square

So, apparently,...
A large part of the area around Milwaukee from somewhere north of Kedzie and Milwaukee (and Wrightwood and Logan) to I don't know, Belmont of farther north is infested with cockroaches...
Which spurred this plan...
Well, after finding of the historical building which are "worthy" of being kept for design qualities and current state of structural integrity (or if they can be repaired, perhaps in rare cases) to be preserved on Milwaukee...
Make either all of Milwaukee...
Or that and a "Radius" perpendicular to it, included some amount of lots on either side of the road, a place for a "new mini downtown"...
Why a place with roaches?
Well, here's the idea...
Zone for tall buildings, maybe twenty stories, or so...
And require them each to have a moat of a certain area...
So, these can help to create effectively "cock roach" deadzones...
You see...
It's turning a problem into a solution...
It's a convincing argument...
Now, if the areas fore and aft of the street are to be included...
(Oh yeah, and the idea is to make a lot of potential commercial,,,
But perhaps bi-use residential or commercial spaces at the "feet" of these edifices with the moats, which reminds me...
It might also make sense here to make a new train, although current train lines do serve this area, so that the old train line can become an "airport" express line...
And, at least, maybe, traffic on the adjacent route 90 can be reduced significantly)...
Then, we need these "pedestrian streets" where alleys now are...
To be well "connected" with "sightlines" to residential spaces...
These taller buildings can help that...
The shape of the buildings, such as by perhaps coming to a point nearest the street and "curving wider" for one example, could maximize, for one these sightlines, as would natural ventilation, as well as decks or ourdoor patios or balconies, etc... so people could opt to travel on these byways in lieu of the sidewalk of the main street and remain nearly as safe, or, potentially, safer still...

So, here we have a "conceptual sketch of rendering" (in axonometric view) of my latest design for  a standard Chicago lot. This is, generally, a more "practiceable" sort of design for me, being smaller in scale, conforming to most, if not all local zoning laws, etc (compared to some other projects of mine which incorporate planning, not the norm for architects, usually it's treated as if there must be a "balance and check" to it, yet, again, I have no interest with any developers right now, no property rights, although I am not sure that means anything either - yes, I am a denizen of this neighbourhood currently and could benefit if it takes a certain course in the future. Look closely at the design and you will see it is somewhat elaborate yet not ultra-complex, or nigh-unbuildable (without a billionaire's budget). Yes, the inspiration is partially the Recreational vehicle, along the lines of Corbusier's interest in ships, perhaps, and it is simply a reference point - there is not slavish adherence to anything as if the building would need to be less a building and more an RV, or something that could be lifted and added wheels to and carted around...
No...
Yes, if a person really wanted...
I suppose some space could be made for RV parking, such as an indentation in the building...
Well, it's not exactly my cup of tea, so forget I mentioned it maybe...
There is meant to be coloured glass, to hearken, I don't know, to Rietveld Schroeder, perhaps, yes, around the windows...
This is designed as a concrete "balloon frame", of some sort, or "space frame", with this cladding of some metal, but it could be painted, if necessary, like RV's and even vinyl siding are sometimes painted (although, I am against vinyl siding, I might try to side it in adobe, before siding it in vinyl siding, not that I am sure adobe holds up well in this climate, it probably doesn't really...)...
That is the main, more practical option, on the other, hand, more similar to my other projects in complexity and expensiveness, the outer layer here, could be made of my "lattice" including the integrated photovoltaic-glass, "calibrated" as it were (yes, I am not sure that people understand all the facets of this design, I guess they probably do not, although I do, and I have tried to explain, and yes, a test of it would be nice to prove its worthiness, but it could be efficient). Yes, and I am aware that if that "cladding" with whatever structure beneath, be it concrete or stone, or whatever might be thicker than what I was designing with the aforementioned properties, well, then the design and scale could be tweaked, you see, that is just implied when potentialities are mentioned, but a lot of people surely won't understand.
Also, either when built or after, a peaked roof might also be installed, just set back a tiny bit maybe, and I am thinking this could be a greenhouse with the entire south side a solar panel and a sky and north facing glazed area...
Which could also have photovoltaic glass perhaps, if necessary, to keep a large heatgain out, or extra circulation or whatever, and which could still get plenty of light to have a garden ornamental or to produce food. This is the basic "innovation", interior design, interior architecture, these might be more straightforward, but the idea, I will note, also includes an idea for integrated radiant heating and cooling in the floors, certainly...
Along the same line, the "flashy" curvaceously shaped windows on the sides of the building, along with their useable interior panes, could conform to a grid, it just hasn't been fully developed yet, but the groundwork is there, a step...
It's only a matter of the next step being taken.
