The proposal of Prairie Tower seeks to connect Downtown Champaign back to its flourishing past by culminating its commercial, residential, and park aspects into an oasis for both humans and nature. Solutions include louvers that both shade and allow foliage to grow along it, a rest stop for birds on the roof, moments that respect the attention restoration theory, and modular roof tiles that can reconfigure according to nature and intellect intersections.
