The installation visualizes the evolution of Chicago design by its examination and presentation of historic characteristics of design works in the CDA collection over the last 10 decades.
Chicago Design Milestones was developed as a collaboration of CDA, University of Illinois at Chicago School of Design & Electronic Visualization Laboratory, and Columbia College Chicago. It is part of the ongoing research of this collaboration aiming to highlight the role of Chicago as a national design center through the use of new technologies.
