LoginThe iconic centerpieces of the Burnham Plan Centennial will be two temporary architectural pavilions in Millennium Park. World renowned architects Zaha Hadid (London), and Ben van Berkel (UNStudio, Amsterdam) designed these bold Pavilions to echo the audacious future-looking images and words of the Burnham Plan: “What we as a people decide to do in the public interest we can and surely will bring to pass.”
The Burnham Pavilions will open to the public on June 19, 2009, when the Grant Park Symphony and Chorus will simultaneously premier a new work composed by Michael Torke called Plans that commemorates the words most often attributed to Daniel Burnham: “Make No Little Plans.” The pavilions will close on November 1, 2009, when they will be dismantled for re-use or recycling.
Partners for the Burnham Plan Pavilions include:
- The Art Institute of Chicago
- The Burnham Plan Centennial Committee
- City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs
- Illinois Institute of Technology
- Millennium Park, Inc.
- University of Illinois Chicago School of Architecture
