Lollapalooza is an iconic music festival and draws hundreds of thousands of people to Chicago each year. Lolla has become a symbol of artistic expression, cultural diversity, and community celebration. As we embrace the essence of Lollapalooza, Spectacular invites you to envision a small-scale pavilion that echoes the festival’s rich character and adds a touch of excitement and playfulness to the experience.
The challenge of this competition is to design a versatile pavilion that can host a myriad of festival activities. Over the weekend, your task is to forge a temporary structure that captures the spirit of Lollapalooza and contributes to the festival’s ever-evolving legacy.

Project Description
Step into the captivating realm of "Mrs O Learys Cow" – a mesmerizing 1000 square foot
pavilion that pays homage to the historic tragedy that shaped Chicago's spirit. Unfolding like a
poignant tale, this architectural marvel centers around the legendary bovine, whose fateful kick
toppled a lamp, kindling the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. A living embodiment of history, the
pavilion roams freely on its own track, emblazoned with the name "O Learys," a nod to its
infamous owner. As the sun sets and the vibrant festival atmosphere comes alive, this
extraordinary structure embraces its role as a mesmerizing spectacle. With a flicker of flames,
"Mrs O Learys Cow" ignites the very heart of the festival, immersing visitors in a visceral
reenactment of the past, symbolizing resilience, and celebrating the enduring spirit of Chicago.
