What? Who? Let's find out together, but before that, can we talk for a hot second about the name. Lincoln Park? Really. We get it -- the site is close to Lincoln Road, but Chicago already has a famous Lincoln Park, and we all know how we feel about naming local spots after existing ones. Let's not even go into the matter of the similarly named awful rap-rock band.
With that settled, West 8 was founded in Rotterdam in 1987 by Adrian Geuze and Paul van Beek and has since gone on to employ more than 75 architects with a second office in New York City. They proposed turning the World Trade Center site into a pasture, are working on a facelift for NY's Governors Island (which includes free wooden bicycles for all), and recently completed the Simcoe Wavedeck in Toronto. Enough with words -- pictures after the jump.
