麦考密克的“芝加哥论坛报”竞赛是在摩天大楼刚出现的几年里举行的，它为解决摩天大楼应该和不应该成为什么样的摩天大楼这一问题提供了必要的讨论。在现代建筑景观中，Mcdowellespinosa的分层智能是CADE的一项建议，其中心是对方案功能的重新设想。与其根据其所在的四种不同用途将该中心分开，不如根据它们对信息的处理情况对不同的职能进行分类，然后通过500多个独特的概况进行重组，并根据其具体情况进行调整。创建空间用于提供信息(0-4级)；生成和消费信息(5-8级)；以及控制和组织信息(10-12级)。

McCormick’s Chicago Tribune Tower competition came during the nascent years of the skyscraper, and served to produce the discussion necessary to address the question of what skyscrapers should and shouldn’t be. In the landscape of modern architecture, Layered Intelligence by mcdowellespinosa is a proposal for the CADE centred on the re-imagining of programmatic functions. Rather than separating the Centre based on the four different uses it houses, different functions are categorized according to their treatment of information and then reorganized through over 500 unique profiles, calibrated for their specific context. Spaces are created for presenting informating (levels 0-4); producing and consuming information (levels 5-8); and controlling and organizing information (levels 10-12).

这座建筑是由两层材料组成的：硬的、制造的、预制的混凝土面板；以及柔软的、有机的树脂-头发复合材料。树脂-头发材料在整个建筑中传播光，增加视觉屏蔽，并为建筑物提供隔热。这种化合物中嵌入的头发是从发廊到垃圾填埋场的过多的人类头发中提取出来的。

The building reads as a layering of two material oppositions: hard, manufactured, precast concrete panels; and a soft, organic resin-hair composite. The resin-hair material transmits light throughout the building, adds visual screening, and provides thermal insulation to the building. The hair embedded in the compound is extracted from the excessive waste stream of human hair that travels from hair salons to landfills.

由于其非常规的规划策略和材料的使用，分层智能的目标是重申建筑需要不断地被审查和质疑，重新想象在过去十年中崛起的混合用途的类型学。

With its unconventional programmatic strategies and use of material, Layered Intelligence aims to re-affirm architecture’s need to be constantly examined and questioned, reimagining the mixed-use typology that has risen to prominence in the past decade.

CAF目前正在主办一个大型展览，在芝加哥建筑双年展上展示了CADE提交的候选名单。展览的目的是反思芝加哥建筑、设计和教育中心的设计，并突出城市建筑领导地位的遗产。展览将于2015年10月1日至2016年1月3日举行。

The CAF is currently hosting a major exhibition featuring a shortlist of CADE submissions at the Chicago Architecture Biennial. The exhibition aims to reflect on the design of a Center for Architecture, Design and Education in Chicago, as well as highlight the city’s legacy of architectural leadership. The exhibition will run from October 1, 2015 to January 3, 2016.
