"17,450 buildings, 3.4sq miles, and around 300 lives, roughly estimating, 200 million dollars in economy and about one - third of the city in ruins. This was the conclusion of the great fire in Chicago. The project resonates to the same incident by giving a metaphysical representation of this disaster. The structure consists of cellular timber columns spread over the park in a formalized grid enclosing the doodly path, which contemplates the visitor into the visual experience of the fire in 18050s.
Making their way through the woods one walks past the few broken logs illustrating the destruction caused in the event at the same structure preserves the natural flora and fauna of the surrounding. At night the lights placed highlight the columns and the path showing the visuals of a burning city with columns as the built and the path as the flowing flames spreading throughout. With context to the surrounding, the lake also accentuates the burning urban forest by reflecting the lights coming from the column, creating the memorial as an anchor point for the whole city. The project remains as a gratitude for the ones who lost their lives, homes, livelihoods to the mismanaged construction systems and the plots played at administrative levels. The sculpture embarks construction that helps save the ecological surroundings and also creates a safer neighborhood.
