RECLAIM THE RIVERFRONT
vi Re
This project is located on the northwest part of River North Art District. As an area between the South Platte River and Five Points neighborhood, it has a couple of issues including physical disconnection, industrial land illness, underutilized waterfront, etc. My proposal starts at urban design scale, with strategies of making new connections, reclaiming the riverfront, repurposing industrial buildings, creating commercial corridors, and providing new affordable housing. Then I choose two riverfront blocks next to 31st street for site design. In the site plan, I reclaim it as green space for residents, artists and tourists.
