Chicago Design Milestones is a media installation that brings to life the evolution of Chicago design by examining and showcasing the historic characteristics of design works from 1920 to 2019. The project extracted material directly from the robust collection featured in the Chicago Design Archive (CDA) which highlights over 3,200 pieces of work from over 1,100 designers and 400 firms. CDA, UIC School of Design & Electronic Visualization Laboratory, and Columbia College of Chicago collaborated together on this project as their goal was to spotlight the role of Chicago as a major national design center through the 150 Media Stream’s unique display structure and technology.
