Re-Engaging the Existing: West Main Street -- Peoria, IL
Taking a deft, grassroots design approach to revitalize the City of Peoria, Illinois' West Main Street Corridor by re-engaging the existing built context of that city. In particular, I took the stance of proposing the adaptive re-use of two existing buildings on the east of of the street into a Markethall Hub to reintroduce activity on that end.
