A'22 - Chicago

Following our release of Spaces version 2, we hit the road for NXT BLD in London and the AIA A'22 show in Chicago.

I was fortunate to have time to explore Chicago - a city I'd never visited before - and see the evolution of the Skyscraper in a single city.

Following the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, over 14,000 buildings were destroyed. A group of architects came together and started using new building techniques and what we know as sky scapers began to appear.

Over the following decades, Chicago continued to innovate and as you can see in the photos below a rich history of architecture has been created. No other city in the world can boast such a broad range of styles in a relatively small area.

BEST of SHOW - Innovation Category

Following the A'22 exhibition, the Spaces team were thrilled to receive a BEST of SHOW award in the Innovation category from architosh. We've only been in the market for a short time so this recognition was especially pleasing.

Spaces caught the attention of attendees at the AIA (American Institute of Architects) National Conference and Expo in Chicago last week. So it comes as no surprise that it received a 2022 Architosh BEST of SHOW award.
