Art on THE MART

Building Light - Designed by Gensler’s Chicago brand team, Building Light explores themes of discovery, urbanism and change through four abstracted and time-lapsed vignettes. Aimed to evoke optimism and wonder, Building Light speaks to the boundaries of what design can do for our communities and its ability to find creative solutions to society’s biggest challenges. An original soundscape from Gilded Audio, composed by Andy Chugg and Nick Dooley, will accompany the piece.

Guest Blog

"But it got me thinking... if this is the future of design, how do we, as designers, give these artificially created spaces ‘soul’? What is our role in this new world of ever advancing technology? The masses of voids and solids we watched come to life in front of our eyes were cool, no doubt, but they were also cold, stark, and overly organic. How do we make them livable? Workable? Relatable? Tangible to the masses?" Hear from Brittney Ferren, Senior Associate, PGAL

"The approach to sustainable design often feels like a solitary process. Sometimes it feels like a competition among peers to stand out in the market. For others, it’s an overwhelming challenge that feels impossible to solve." Hear from Giulio Bonazzi, Chairman & CEO, Aquafil Group

Work Pods Enable All 3 Essential Elements of a Hybrid Office
"No doubt, one of the most valuable understandings we’ve gleaned over the past 2 years is that we do, in fact, need the office. It gives us people and variety. Without enough of either, work suffers, and mental well-being declines. Yet employees across the board want the freedom to work from home roughly 2-3 days a week for good. Hence the broad consensus. Hybrid is the future." Hear from Robert Korpacki, Product Manager, Hushoffice and Mateusz Barczyk, Senior Brand Manager, Hushoffice.
