Flyway City

This inspiring new exhibition, designed and co-curated by Studio Gang in collaboration with the CAC, aims to catalyze positive change on making cities safer and more welcoming for birds and diverse wildlife.

Flyway City: Architecture for a Flourishing Ecosystem reveals how people can take action to create healthier urban habitats and save birds from colliding with building glass — a problem that currently kills more than 1 billion birds each year in the United States. 

Designed and co-curated by Studio Gang, the architecture and urban design practice founded in Chicago and led by world-renowned architect Jeanne Gang, Flyway City features architectural models and mock-ups, original illustrations, photography, building materials and interactive media, along with bird-related artifacts from local Chicago organizations and individuals.

The exhibition invites everyone to take part in making Chicago a leading Flyway City and flourishing ecosystem for all by offering inspiration and scalable solutions for design that works in concert with nature.
