The questions and the answers are always late. Cities are always running behind, trying to code and survive through the economic condition. The speed of the fluids are always mutating, transforming and taking different shapes. We are constantly proposing and putting in practice perception in between the endless spiral of the present. Our human behavior and perceptions are being built by others and by different matters. History in the end is the only parameter from which we can rely. Our mastery of the knowledge technics keep holding the population and transforming the way we live by processing and turning resources into elements of survival. The 21st century characterizes by the transformation of matter and energy into technological tools that we unconsciously rely on while they are also being misused and manipulated, giving non-consistent answers. The thesis travels through different subjects in an attempt to construct a general perspective that will define the decisions on the urban programmatic plans and direct them into educational and cultural performances. Due to economical forces and a projected demographic growth, the near south region of Chicago is looking for a transformation and a direction to travel. Through the general perspective the proposal for the region firstly study to connect cultural collective open spaces injected on a particular area of the South Loop. The area is mainly influenced by industrial infrastructure that can be replaced or reprogrammed according to a considered value. The study will explore the cultural connection from the neighborhood to the Museum Campus as catalyzers for the future interventions of the zone.

Secondly,the general perspective will go more specific into the museum campus and the appropriation of the abandoned McCormick Lake Site Center. An infrastructure located in a zone where the ecological systems and the cultural concern are the roots of its creation. The proposal will face the parameters to reorient the building into a filtered cultural source and as a natural connection infrastructure.
