Reactivating A Post-Industrial Landscape: Carrie Blast Furnaces National Historic Landmark Allison Janik, Undergraduate Landscape Architecture 5th year Comprehensive Project Proposal Professor Martha Hunt LA 451: Research Methods December 12, 2022 Ball State University, Estopinal College of Architecture and Planning Department of Landscape Architecture

The steel plated, 92-foot tall, megalithic industrial structure, known as the Carrie Blast Furnaces in the Swissvale borough of Pittsburgh, PA stands as a reminder of what had once reigned over the rivers of steel. The steel industry was once a booming catalyst of economic flux in what is currently regarded as the “rust belt”. The rust belt is composed of towns with post-industrial landscapes of great significance to the history of the town, leaving behind only the shells of what once occupied the land and the people who know of the robust history. The Carrie Blast Furnaces are one post-industrial landscape now recognized as a national landmark. This site is roughly 135 acres in total, with over half being reclaimed by resilient vegetation. This proposal aims to take the underutilized land and regenerate it as programmed community gathering spaces that continue to encourage the touring of the national landmark and maintain the preservation of the land. This study highlights the impacts of post-industrial landscapes on economic and ecological factors, as well as how communities can be enveloped in those processes.

Methods used to address the problem include evaluation of precedent studies ranging from 9 acres to 500 acres, with all falling under readaptation of post-industrial landscapes. Each case study will be examined on the economic and ecological effects of redesigning these landscapes, as well as the limitations associated with this project typology. In addition to case studies, a thorough site inventory and analysis will be conducted in conjunction with interviews with professionals who have first-hand experience with maintaining and promoting the integrity of the landmark. The primary products of this design will be an overall masterplan for the site, design prototypes that can be applicable throughout this land, and potential design options for similar post-industrial landscapes.

Section I: The Problem and Setting

Janik 1

Introduction

“The industrial landscape is already littered with remains of once successful companies that could not adapt their strategic vision to altered conditions of competition.”

Industrialization is a concept that has been around since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, starting in 1760. The rising demand for materials, such as steel and glass, left a major impact on most cities and communities throughout the United States, as well as the environment. Manufacturing started due to the need for developmental materials, especially during WWII, which impacted the workers once the military-industrial complex slowed in postWWII America. The Rust Belt was put into effect in 1980, where the industrial “cities” began dilapidating (Trubek, 2018). This displaced a large number of workers, and has taken a toll on many industrial sites. These sites are left decaying, maintaining only a silhouette of what once was.

The Rust Belt has impacted these industrial sites, as well as the communities and context that surrounds them. Not only were workers out of jobs, but the communities began to dissolve due to a lack of necessity to remain in these industrial districts. These sites remain only as memories of what had resided in the land, and, unfortunately, most are “sores” in the land. The industrial sites had once harnessed large masses of people that formed communities in and around them. As the Rust Belt went into effect, the communities rapidly declined. There is now a strong need to rejoin the communities, and reunite them with the site that had brought these manufacturing communities together.

In Pittsburgh, PA, there is a perfect example of a site that has attempted to regain the community within its boundaries. The Carrie Blast Furnaces National Historic Landmark (CBFNHL) is a landmark that celebrates “rare examples of pre-World War II iron-making technology” (Rivers of Steel, 2022). While this site is now a national landmark and utilized by the community, the maximum potential of the land is not being realized. The lack of accessibility and programmed spaces makes the site less functional for the intent and purposes of the community. The preservation of the landmark is not celebrated as much in the surrounding context, which in turn limits the potential of community development and access to economic gains through tourism. The disconnect creates an opportunity to develop a community gathering node that can adapt to the site with proposed functional spaces that enhance the experience of the site for those living around CBFNHL, and those visiting to learn the history and culture.

The following document will outline a research proposal that seeks to develop a site master plan for the reinvention of the CBFNHL site into a community gathering space. This space will aim to define the environmental impact that this site had prior to and post-industrialization while incorporating immersive learning opportunities, provide community gathering areas that accommodate existing and future events that will take place on site, and create accessible routes to enhance the experience of the existing landmark. The overall park will amplify the existing landmark and provide a connection to the community, as well as celebrate the robust industrial history of Pittsburgh.

Problem Statement

This project proposes a design for the extents of the Carrie Blast Furnaces National Historic Landmark (CBFNHL) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, which aims to provide an interactive space for visitors and neighbors to experience the landmark. This proposal will explore concepts of community engagement, historic preservation, and immersive learning opportunities, as well as how all of these principles can help to enhance the experience of the landmark.

Sub-Questions

How can a community park space be designed in a way that attention will not be taken from the CBFNHL, but will also help to support the experience of said landmark?

How can preservation principles be retained within the design of the site?

Can preservation retain pre-industrialization periods of the site?

How can ecological advantages be represented for an immersive learning experience within the site?

What opportunities are there to create interactive, natural education moments on site?

How can the community improve engagement of CBFNHL while protecting its historic and cultural integrity?

How can the community better engage and utilize the landmark, without taking away significance or the integrity of the site?

Glossary of Terms

Post-Industrial Landscape: Environmentally impaired resources that need to be reestablished for a productive use and integrated into the community surrounding it.

Industrialization: A switch from an economic focus on agriculture to a reliance on manufacturing.

Natural Environment: An environment in which nature, plants, insects, animals, etc., can evolve over time and exist naturally.

Urbanization: The concentration of mass populations into rather discrete areas.

Cultural Environment: Environments shaped by human activities and heritage.

Manufacturing Communities: Communities that developed due to the rise of manufacturing within a certain area.

Janik 4

Assumptions

The Carrie Blast Furnaces National Historic Landmark is a vital part of the community, an actively explored landmark, and it is anticipated that this will continue into the future.

Current user groups will remain consistent into the distant future.

Delimitations

This research proposal and design will not include:

Brownfield remediation solutions that are expanded upon to a full extent, but rather highlight overhead ideas of what can be done (soil remediation, natural system restoration, etc.).

Development beyond the constraints of the land surrounding the Carrie Blast Furnaces National Historic Landmark.

An entire detailed design of the site, but rather the design with key features expanded upon to provide the driving design principles.

Construction documentation of the design, but rather overall design ideals.

Constraints with budgeting or funding necessary to implement the project on site.

Significance

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is an active city with a robust history in the realm of industrial business. According to a study of the brownfield regeneration in Chicago, another postindustrial city, “77 jobs increased with 68 jobs retained and 76.2% of remaining jobs reported higher wages than previous use” (Higgins, 2008). This shows roughly a 213% increase in jobs, and a similar mindset can be applied to the CBFNHL site. An abundance of tourism and learning opportunities that can help to enhance not only public knowledge, but economic gain within the neighborhoods or city can also enhance the economy of Pittsburgh. A study in Brno, Czech Republic shows how roughly “20% of people stated they had visited regenerated brownfields for leisure time activities” (Navratil et. al., 2018), showing how about 20% of people came to the brownfield knowing about its history. This percentage is something that can be increased with awareness of brownfield regeneration. Historic preservation is a great tool for the public to understand the past of human culture and can be utilized as a tourism boom for a rust belt city.

Community Development/Socialization

In addition to the economic gain that can come from enhancing features on site, the community that can develop within the surrounding neighborhood(s), and within the outside visitors can be something of extreme significance. The interactions that can take place from the expansion of community space within the site will open up potential for greater connections among people. Not only would these interactions be beneficial for the further preservation of the site with the expanded tourism bringing more interest in preserving this site and others similar, but it also enhances the possibility of future trips of visitors, with roughly 20 people per tour from May through November every year (Rivers of Steel, 2022), to explore the site again, creating bonds within the community.

Environmental Impact

Finally, there is an educational benefit to visiting a site such as CBFNHL with the understanding of environmental impacts that steel mills had, as well as the acknowledgment of what had resided in this land prior to industrialization, during the industrialization period, and post industrial. The environmental challenges that had come within a post industrial landscape can be highlighted to potentially inspire others to look into these issues/techniques. These may even become a catalyst for other sites within Pittsburgh that need the remediation processes to create a reusable site.

All of these qualities can provide a better understanding of the site, expand on community potential, and celebrate a historically significant site without harming the integrity or the enrichment that can come from experiencing the site.

Section III: Methodology

Janik 17

This section provides a layout of various processes and procedures that will be followed for the methodology. The framework of the methodology can be categorized into four sections: content analysis, interviews, and site inventory and analysis.

Content Analysis:

To identify key characteristics of brownfield redevelopment and successful design tactics, a content analysis will be completed on sources listed in the annotated bibliography. A few of these texts are key, including the Zero Waste Design Guidelines for High Density Cities, “The Key to Successful Brownfield Development’’, “Battle of Homestead and Carrie Furnaces 6 and 7”, and “Brownfield Redevelopment in Toronto: An Examination of Past Trends and Future Prospects’’. The main characteristics being reviewed in these sources are economic and ecological success in design implementation of sites similar to CBFNHL, community engagement in the design process of a post-industrial site, and historical context of the site. The economic and ecological successes will be analyzed and compared in order to determine areas of overlap, as well as prioritized in the overall analysis of the material at hand.

Content analysis will also be completed on these case studies:

Domino Park - Brooklyn, New York: This project will be analyzed for the educational concept and the impact on the surrounding community, with design proposals and benefits.

Landschaftspark Duisburg Nord - Duisburg, Germany: This project will be analyzed for design principles while preserving an abandoned industrial site.

SteelStacks - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania: This project will be analyzed for design principles while preserving an abandoned industrial site, as well as the economic benefits that have come from the site.

Gas Works Park - Seattle, Washington: This project will be analyzed for methodologies in design principles, as well as the community engagement within the site.

Successful features and methods of these studies, with the economic and ecological overlap as priority, will be identified and can be applied in the proposed design for the CBFNHL site [more information on each case study can be found in (Appendix F)].

In addition to the sources from the annotated bibliography and the case studies, GIS data will be collected on the demographics of people visiting the site, and the contextual demographics of the surrounding area. This information will better inform who is utilizing the site and who has the potential for immediate access to the site, or gauge the general skills of those surrounding the site to create career options that cater to those individuals.

This information will better inform who is utilizing the site and who has the potential for immediate access to the site, or gauge the general skills of those surrounding the site to create career options that cater to those individuals.

Interviews:

A series of interviews will be completed with experts in the field of brownfield redevelopment, and community members within the manufacturing communities. These are as follows:

Mr. Doug Styles, Tour Guide at CBFNHL and prior industrial worker: to better understand the relationship of CBFNHL to the surrounding community, the impact of the landmark on the city of Pittsburgh, and to understand the relationships between workers and industrial sites.

Mr. Ronald Baraff, Director of Historic Resources & Facilities: to better understand the history of the site, how the site is being preserved and limitations in designing around the landmark, and future proposals for visitor interaction with the landmark and existing context within the site boundaries.

Mrs. Jaimie Hanson, Manager of Tourism: to understand the demographics of visitors on site, to understand the economic benefits coming from the programs/events/tours of the CBFNHL, and how these statistics are seen to progress in the future with future development.

Assessment of interviews will include a comparison between information gathered regarding the CBFNHL site, and the case studies of successful post-industrial redevelopment sites. This data will be documented through notes and presented in illustrative diagrams/informational graphics. [Interview questions can be found in

Appendix A: Site Summary

Fig 1.1: Downtown Pittsburgh and CBFNHL proximity/relationship map.

Fig 1.2: Boroughs in relation to the CBFNHL site.

The CBFNHL site is located in the southeastern portion of Pittsburgh, PA (see Fig 1.1) in the Swissvale and Rankin boroughs (see Fig 1.2) on the northern bank of the Monongahela River. This site in total takes up approximately 135 acres, with roughly 75 on the eastern boundary of the national landmark being open to new development. The 75 open acres is the focus site for this project, with some minor design adjustments in the landmark boundary.Established in 2006 as a National Historic Landmark along with four other locations in Pennsylvania, all associated with the steel industry and included in the Rivers of Steel National Heritage Area (NPS, 2022), the site is currently being managed by a nonprofit in partnership with the NPS. With the site being closed to the general public, tours and events are the only way to access the grounds with most of the traffic coming from tours. Tours range from May through mid-November, with cut off prior to first snow, and include an industrial tour of the furnaces themselves, as well as the Iron Garden tour and the Arts and Grounds tour. The Iron Garden tour caters to the botanic experience of the reclaimed land, and gives visitors an insight into the resilience of nature. The Arts and Grounds tour shows the newly adapted use of the site with guerrilla artists, graffiti artists, and designers leaving their imprint on the land (Rivers of Steel, 2022).

Fig 1.3: Carrie and Homestead relation.

Not only does this site house a national landmark with significance in the steel industry, but also roughly 5,000 feet of

riverfront with 3,000 feet falling in the open acres to the east of the furnaces. The Carrie Furnace Hot Metal Bridge creates a connection to the Great Allegheny Passage, which is a riverfront trail on the southern bank of the Monongahela. To the west of the landmark is another riverfront trail, which spans the northern edge of the site boundary (see Fig 1.3 and 1.4).

Not only does this site house a national landmark with significance in the steel industry, but also roughly 5,000 feet of riverfront with 3,000 feet falling in the open acres to the east of the furnaces. The Carrie Furnaces hot metal bridge with a connection to the Great Allegheny Passage, which is a riverfront trail on the southern bank of the Monongahela. To the west of the landmark is another riverfront trail, which spans the northern edge of the site boundary. Both trails connect much of the Swissvale and Rankin boroughs to the River and back to downtown Pittsburgh. In terms of vegetation, the landmark itself has many resilient, drought friendly perennials growing, which emphasize the boundary of the furnaces. To the east are grasses and prairie land that are fairly open to redevelopment, even catching the interest of the Pittsburgh Film Office (see Fig 1.6) with anticipation to create a film and entertainment hub, which has the first phase approved for construction by the city of Pittsburgh (RIDC, 2022). Along the riverfront, there are shade trees with minimal understory that help to protect from erosion and maintain a wildlife corridor through the site. Outside of the wildlife corridor, the condition of the site is fairly safe as it has been reclaimed by native vegetation after the furnaces were closed and most of the facilities were demolished. There is no development on the eastern side of the landmark between the CBFNHL and the power plant next to the Rankin bridge, however there is the hot metal bridge with no connection access to the north of the Carrie Furnace Boulevard.

Overall, this site is underdeveloped with opportunities for design and connections through the Swissvale, Rankin, Homestead, and Whitaker boroughs. In addition, this is a great hub for industrial heritage along the Monongahela River, and within proximity to downtown Pittsburgh. There are design challenges with the proposed Carrie Blast Furnaces Masterplan by RIDC, including eleven proposed buildings, two of which have been approved for construction, but the interest in the site and the opportunity for redevelopment as an asset for the community is prevalent.

This site accompanies the refinery, being turned into a landmark with associated building becoming affordable housing for New Yorkers, with the rent being $640/month for a onebedroom (Schwab, 2018). This park in relation boosts the desire to live in such apartments. Over 4 million diverse visitors have visited the site, as well as the implementation of 100 local jobs through St. Nicks Alliance (ASLA, 2022).

In addition, the site has established scrap drop offs from the community surrounding the park. These scraps were then repurposed into new materials and fertilizer for the planting beds located in the park (Center for Zero Waste Design, n.a.).

Railway Park, Play-points (climbing and play in the industrial structure), and Ore Bunker

Like CBFNHL, Landschaftspark Duisburg Nord is the site of a former blast furnace industry. This site is now composed of many parks and open spaces for the community to utilize while still preserving the landmark. Roughly 50,000 people gather in the open spaces during festivals held in the grounds (EDRA, 2005).

One of the main focuses of Latz + Partner was ecological awareness. The ideas of sustainability and ecology played a major role in design. They took into account runoff and clean up of the Emscher River while catering to the industrial origin of the land (EDRA, 2005).

Unique to this site, the ArtsQuest Center is a contains a casino and the open entertainment spaces for concerts, which caters to most of the economic gain for this particular case study. Roughly 7 to 8 million people are attracted to this particular space with roughly 1 million visiting SteelStacks annually (ULI, 2015).

While sustainability and ecology are not primary focuses on this project, the site is an old industrial wasteland that has been remediated in order to accommodate for the future usage of the land. It also runs along the Lehigh River and incorporates the riverbank into the project boundary (ULI, 2015).

Like most parks and open spaces, Gas Works Park attracts property value in the surrounding areas because of the vast amount of open green space, especially located along water. In addition, the pull of over 200,000 tourists and visitors annually helps to aid in the economic gain of the surrounding neighborhoods (The Trust for Public Land, 2011).

Not only is there economic gain in tourism and property, but also in ecological advantages. People want a space to be able to be immersed in nature, which Gas Works manages to do. Outside of this ecological advantage, the site has been remediated in order to establish a space that people can reutilize (The Trust for Public Land, 2011).
