The city of Chicago, in the United States, has selected Team Pioneros, a 100% Latino team led by JGMA studio, to rebuild the historic Pioneer Bank Building in Humboldt Park. The 53.9 million dollar project will restore the former landmark structure and car park, creating affordable housing, a business incubator space, a Latino cultural centre and offices. It will also house the new JGMA office headquarters, which hopes the new building will serve as a symbol for the neighbourhood’s future. The multi-coloured façade is intended to mirror what will be the new centre for Latino business. The nine-storey structure will also provide a home for the new Chicago Public Library.
