Restitch Tampa

Downtown Tampa, Florida is a beautiful place for a new project. There is so much sapce for new opportunity and design. As a class, we took a trip there and walked around the site and city. As we did that, we noticed how amazing it truely is, but it lacked one big thing. There wasn't a whole lot to do down there. So our group was tasked with trying to establish something to add to the downtown Tampa area that will draw people there and make them stay. We wanted to add residential buildings, retail, and new ways to get there as well. We decided to work all along the pier and do something similar to Navy Pier, because the existing site was nothing but parking lots. My part of the project was to redesign the pier, while my other two group members focused on strecthing the pier to the inner city and to establish the area around the Tampa Bay Lightning stadium. The pier includes residential buildings, commercial strips, restaurants, a ferris wheel, a boardwalk, and a new docking port.
