In 1917, a private resident by the name of Mr. Alden Freeman made it clear he would donate money to complete Elmwood Park if the City would eliminate the open sewer (Recreation Commissioners 46). This water course was consequently buried in a seven-foot wide, 1600-foot long concrete pipe, the Elizabeth River Valley Drain, for a cost of almost

With this work complete, Mr. Freeman invested about $150,000 of his own funds into the park. A large part of this sum was used for a series of sculptures dedicated to his father and entitled, “The Shrine of Human Rights”, by the sculptor Ulric H. Ellerhuson. These sculptures were located at the Rhode Island Avenue entrance to the park and centered around the theme of equality and human rights, a very hot topic at this time in American history.

PROPOSAL TO PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL DESIGN SERVICES FOR

Spring Garden Connector Street Between 2nd Street and Festival Pier

SUBMITTED TO THE DELAWARE RIVER WATERFRONT CORPORATION OCTOBER 26th, 2012

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING The Spring Garden Connector Street between 2nd Street and

SOME THOUGHTS...

Columbus Boulevard is at the conﬂuence of several exciting forces in the present and future landscape of Philadelphia and the central Delaware River waterfront. It is one of the few streets that provides an at-grade link between the City and the River; it is the gateway to the Northern Liberties Neighborhood and to the Festival Pier site; it will be the transition to the Penn Street Trail and an important node

MARINE INDUSTRIAL A nod to history of the east terminus of Spring Garden Street, industryinspired materials, forms and styles can be reinterpreted with a modern edge.

on the East Coast Greenway; and it will define the character of one end of the Spring Garden Greenway. As the third Primary Connector Street project undertaken by the Delaware River Waterfront Corporation (DRWC), the Spring Garden project will continue the quality and commitment to intelligent, inspiring, and safe streetscape design that has characterized these projects so far. The intent of the project is to create a vibrant, compelling, and safe connection between Philadelphia and its river during the day and through the night. This connection will celebrate the myriad ways that people traverse the city—whether by foot, car, train, bus, or bicycle—each of which are represented within the project area. This strengthened connection will embody the creative energy of the city, which will be directed through a lens of community engagement and distilled into a final, forward-looking design for the streetscape and underpass, which will include a significant and integral public art component. The project will also embrace sustainable strategies through an increase in urban tree canopy coverage and by capturing and treating stormwater runoff. For all lighting components, sustainable products and techniques will be used that reduce and simplify DRWC’s operational costs and procedures.

THE SPRING GARDEN CONNECTOR STREET PROJECT WILL: • REINFORCE THE CONNECTION BETWEEN CITY AND RIVER • PROMOTE GREENING AND SUSTAINABILITY • PROVIDE FOR AND CELEBRATE A NETWORK OF TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS • FULLY INTEGRATE INNOVATIVE ART AND LIGHTING • BECOME AN ICONIC GATEWAY

MARKETING LAYOUT SOME THOUGHTS...

TRANSIT POP Taking cues from the classic line art of subway maps, this portion of Spring Garden Street can be a true celebration of all the modes of transportation converging on the site.

Clockwise from left: Pop influences and unexpected colors enliven a street (below) and an overpass (above) in murals by artist-duo LangBaumann; An intricate illusion made of simple concentric circles by Felice Varinni; Bright vertical lines defining space; A bench inspired by bold lines; light filters through perforated metal; 3- dimensional ribbons of metal could be used as a backlit wall treatment; Vertical wind turbines, treated with the color and vibrance of the surrounding design, could act as a powerful beacon, visible from far away.

Above: Lines and colors chart a complex system of transit in this classic Brooklyn Subway map. Left: An energetic, iconic entry invites kids in to this children’s library in New York.

THE CITY AND ITS RIVER Spring Garden Street is a broad line that rolls under Interstate 95 and connects the vibrant Northern Liberties neighborhood to the Delaware River. It is one of the precious few connections that allow us to experience the river without ďŹ rst climbing over the interstate. It accommodates a constant ďŹ&#x201A;ow of pedestrians, drivers, cyclists, elevated rail cars, and buses and it represents the future of public space design in our city.

A consistent palette of materials for the campus will ensure visitors to Cedar Crest are left with a memorable image of the campus as a whole. Through site furnishings, lighting, signage, planting hardscape materials and other site elements, the campus will develop a cohesive image. Custom elements will reﬂect the Cedar Crest brand from the entry statement to printed marketing materials. New materials used on the campus will have a clean, modern and slightly urban look that is inspired by the natural grandeur and the most compelling translations of Southwest landscapes in contemporary design. The new direction of Cedar Crest Professional Park will be reﬂected in the material use throughout the campus, and will set a high design standard for future projects.

CASE STUDY The Arizona State Polytechnic Campus has a memorable and cohesive campus look which is achieved through consistent hardscape materials used throughout the campus perimeter, landscaping, gardens, pavings, site furnishings, structures and buildings. Elements range from wildly natural to simple and geometric, but they hang together through a consistent palette of colors and materials. Here, the landscape around building entrances and in courtyards differs slightly in color and treatment from the paths meant to convey pedestrians from place to place. The subtle mix of materials makes for clearly deﬁned circulation and an imageable campus.

The exhibit celebrated it’s opening night was an official event for Design Philadelphia, an annual citywide design festival.

Panel Discussion

The exhibit culminated in a panel discussion that explored how student involvement can encourage development of sites like the Reading Railroad.

Storefront / Office During business hours, we stashed the boards away and Next City used their office as usual.

Open Exhibit

We kept the exhibit open to visitors 7 days a week for 6 weeks.

Meeting Place

The exhibit allowed us to have impromptu and planned meetings with all kinds of people interested in the site.
