Designed by Tod & Billie Tsein
Currently under production, the Presidential Center’s designs are incredible. There is a large museum tower, which is the focal point of the project. There is also a forum and public library. The project is unique in the fact that is centered around a person. The project is meant to be symbolic of the former president’s work and accomplishments. Tod and Billie’s focus on working from inside out directly correlates to the project. This is symbolic of the idea that what truly matters comes from the inside. The other aspect influence of Tod and Billie that relates to the project is the use of the grounds below. Obama wanted to emphasize the impact of Chicago on his life. The project will use the landscape and ground as part of the project to symbolize the importance of Chicago’s on his life.
