“ Without the Mississippi River there would be no St. Louis.

The river has been vital to the city’s life from the moment it was founded in 1764.

But as Louisans, we have to admit that the river is something we usually forget about from day to day. We drive across its bridges, watch barges drift along its surface, and bring out-of-towners to the 630-foot-tall Arch standing proud on its bank, but overall we don’t spend much time pondering how the Mississippi River seeps into our daily lives.”

R

Louis, the Native settlement was called, “Cahokia Cahokia”.

Between 800-1400 AD, their population rose to 20,000.

Their civilization left behind sacred earth-mounds and nicknamed the later St. Louis city the “Mound City”. The location/site was selected by French monarchies, in 1764, as a fur-trading post because of its resistance to flooding and location on the confluence of three major river systems: the Mississippi, Missouri, and Illinois. The French settlement became a part of the United States through the Louisiana Purchase of 1803 and the city of St. Louis was established, in 1823. A variety of triumphs and challenges faced the city’s economic and societal growth. The Mississippi River was once the main factor shaping this city and its most characterizing asset.

to understand the Mississippi River System through text and personal photography. It will examine the history of St. Louis, and the influence of the Gateway Arch National Park (then the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial). The research will also present case studies from various other river cities facing similar obstacles— to observe how they have responded. The intent of this analysis will be to propose an architectural intervention that will help to re-imagine the St. Louis riverfront and further activate it.

Pt. II — The History of St. Louis & the Mississippi River

Mississippi’s First Metropolis

The Great Fire

In the early 1200s, Cahokian Indians established an early Native American settlement in the region of St. Louis and further east into Illinois. At this time their population peaked 20,000, and were the second largest Pre-European settlement north of Mexico. A notable landscape feature they constructed were earth mounds, with a few of these manmade constructions remaining to the East of St. Louis, MO.

On May 17th of 1849, a paddle boat called “White Cloud” caught on fire and along its drift down the St. Louis Riverfront set 22 other steamboats on fire. The total devastation after 11 hours resulted in the destruction of the riverfront, 15 city blocks, 430 buildings, 23 steamboats, and three lives. This calamity led to a new building-code restricting new development to be constructed of stone, brick, or other forms of masonry.

The First Steamboat In the August of 1817, the first steamboat arrived in St. Louis, traveling upriver from Louisville, Kentucky.

Known as the “Zebulon M. Pike”, .

Revolutionizing the economy of the city with future transportation of commerce and people, and the riverfront’s land development. This was St. Louis’s first step into the industrial age, as a small fur-trading town into a city-factory able to navigate America’s largest river

In the February of 1764, the commerce with fur led a small group of French traders searching for a strategic location for a fur-trading outpost. Attracted by a bank of limestone, 18 miles south of the Mississippi-Missouri Confluence on the Mississippi River’s west bank, the land was cleared for construction and named St. Louis— in honor of early King Louis IX, of France.

Founding of Saint Louis

In 1837, the young engineer, Robert E. Lee, was the first person to attempt to tame the Mississippi River using a dike system of 200 60-foot tall wooden pikes to divert the water flow back to St. Louis from Illinois. Later a Confederate General, Robert E.Lee paved the way for US Army Corps of Engineers to continue the taming of the Mississippi River and the system now has a series of 43 dams, locks, dikes, and levees.

Before the Great Fire, an inlfux of immigrants in early 1849 brought the disease Cholera. Later in the year, the disease broke out due to poor unsanitary conditions in the city’s sewage-waste treatment. Raw sewage ravaged the water networks of the early St. Louis, becuase of the lack of a proper sewage network. An estimate of 4,500-9,000 people died within three months— most from the “lower class”. St. Louis wouldn’t start construction on a porper sweage system untill 1955, and completion until 1889.

— What major events Transformed the Mississippi

Riverfront in St. Louis?

Removing the “Slums” The Eads Bridge In 1867, Illinios granted a Chicago developer the oopurtunity to build a bridge linkning St. Louis to it’s Illinois side. After contesting, the project was given to James Eads, a St. Louisian familiar with the ferocity of the Missisiippi River from his expeditions as a ship-wreckage salvager and iron-clad boat building. He would later design and build the 6,400 foot long bridge using steel, lmiestone, and wrought iron. The bridge would be the first in the world using steel trusses, and first to stretch over the Mississippi River south of its Confluence...

The end of river commerce.

1874 1904

Informally known as the St. Louis World’s Fair, this international exposition displayed history, cultures, architecture, foods, arts, sciences, agriculture, and entertainment to 19.6 million visitors across the world. This event also hosted the Summer Olympic games of 1904, the first of its kind in the US. This also marked the beginning of a revolutionary water purification method by chemist John Wixford, transforming the muddy Mississippi River water crystal clear.

Louisiana Purchase Exposition 17

The beginning of an end. By 1939, city leaders were dissapointed by “dirty” and “outdated” buildings along the central riverfront of downtown St. Louis, between Poplar Street and Washingston Ave, and west to Third Street. Nearly 40 blocks and 486 buildings were demolished, totaling 5 million square feet This area housed some of the earliest buildings from the original 1764 settlement, but lacked a “connection” to the riverfront.Yet no one knew what would take its place until design competitons and proposals would resume in 1947.

1939 1965 A Finnish architect named Eero Saarinen ultimately won the Jefferson National Expansions Memorial (JNEM) design competition to take the place of the 40-block riverfront landremoval. His submission, a 630 foot tall steel-arch carried with it the chargest dark history of the ground it rose from.

However, to the masses, this represented the “Gateway” to the west, and the future for the City of St. Louis.

Jefferson National Expansion Memorial

The Great Flood Torrential rains in the upper Midwest along with the constriction of the upper Mississippi River, led to in an inevitable flood in the summer of 1993. The Mississippi River crested at a record height of 49.7 feet, over 19 feet above flood stage. The flooding broke 51/90 levees in the St. Louis district, resulting in incredible flooding and damage.

Overall, 31,000 square miles of land flooded, 10,000 homes were destroyed, affected 9 states, and resulted in $15-20 billion in damage.

1993 2010—

Decades after the completion of the JNEM, now recognized as the Gateway Arch, the grounds it rested on were a concern regarding its inaccessiblity and disconnect from the riverfront to downtown.

A competition, like the 1947 JNEM, resulted in landscape firm Michael Van Valkenburgh’s winning submission of the Gateway Arch. The $380 million project boasted new bike paths, walking paths, landscaping, and museum renovation...

Was this enough to activate the riverfront?

everal major challenges that impact the development of building near the Mississippi River, in St. Louis, are listed below. These challenges are the result of human alteration to the natural conditions of a river. Two major consequential transformations are channelization and dams. The deepening and lining of natural riverbanks with impermeable materials alters the natural tendencies of a river. This action alongside the existence of several dams upstream the Mississippi River has constricted the river waters down-stream, after the confluence point near St. Louis, and result in severe consequences— such as increased flooding and sediment depletion/excess in certain areas. Among the other challenges of building near a riverfront deal with ecological health: water quality, habitat depletion, bio-hazards from industrial effluent and agriculture runoff— to name a few few. Lastly, it is controlled by the masses of barges transporting goods across the country... An indomitable river highway.

What factors Challenge development on the Mississippi Riverfront in St. Louis?

T

here are numerous challenges with building near or atop the Mississippi River. It’s mighty waters move with a volumetric force

of 12,000 cubic feet per second at the Upper Mississippi near Lake Itasca; to the south in the Gulf of Mexico, the river moves close to 600,000 cubic feet of water per second. The rate at which this volume of water is based on the width and depth of the river, but typically ranges from 1.5 miles per hour to 6 miles per hour, throughout its entire 2,350 mile length. In St. Louis, the Mississippi River is normally at a depth of 9 feet, maintained by numerous dikes and levees, and flows with an average volumetric force of 145,000 cubic feet of water per second, or forty-one 48 foot long semitrucks filled with water. The rate at which the river flows in the St. Louis region is typically between 1-3 mph. However, the river can change its

ferocity at any time based on the conditions of the upper region such as rainwater, glacial melting, or simply the over capacity in the river’s volume and its inability to release water through its concrete lined banks. St. Louis is positioned in a tough location because upstream are a series of 43 dams that swell the water but also divide it in nearly half, this causes the water to only travel one way during excess— up. On 1993, this proved to be fatal when torrential rains during that summer caused the river to crest at a height of 49.7 feet, and engulf entire towns... Destroying 31,000 square miles of land and impacting 9 US states.

ith the inclement dangers of climate change comes more intense weather, both freezing winters and scorching summers. This rapid fluctuations in temperature causes instability in the water ecosystems, in the forms of ocean acidification, higher tidal waves, glacial retreat, sea-level rise, higher water temperatures, and more frequent and intense rainstorms— just to name a few. These dangers pose a threat to coastal societies, with nearly 26% of the global population, or 2.2 billion, living in the “at-risk” areas prone to flooding— the coastal urban population

he vast 43 lock and dam system in the Upper Mississippi, from Lake Itasca to the MississippiRiver Confluence, swells the river. Heavy rainstorms, therefore, can cause catastrophic flooding because the river is segmented, constricted, and walled in by its concrete levees and banks. This can be exemplified by the Mississippi River’s Great Flood of 1993. Inability to permeate outwards forces the water to only go one direction, up. Instead of more concrete walls, we must learn to acknowledge the river. To acknowledge living by the river there are three two major actions we

t the convergence of the two mighty Midwest rivers, the Missouri and the Mississippi, lies rich agricultural land ruled by men and machine. What once was an obstacle of dangerous encounters, has been tamed by vast locks and dams. These structures of concrete and steel allow the travel of goods to move easily throughout the year, despite the rivers natural fluctuations. We’ve harnessed the flow of the second longest river in America, and tamed it’s ferocity with other systems such as dikes, swallowing entire lands and creating some anew. Have we acknowledged this in how we live? Or are we distant from the fact we lie at the banks of an incredible river system carrying over half of our country’s waters? o understand the existence of St. Louis, we travel back to its beginnings.

capture the various qualities of the Missouri-Mississippi Confluence. From its abundant fertile land being harvested, to its last downstream concrete dam holding back the might of the Mississippi to its North. The stillness of the ecosystem is only interrupted by the series of barges and frequent machinery along its banks, and an entire town to its North— Alton, Illinois. It is difficult to imagine a place like this exists outside of metropolitan areas like St. Louis, only 10-15 miles away... But this here, is our origin.

T

o understand St. Louis, we must experience the mighty Mississippi River.

The 2,350 mile stretch of water, beginning from Minnesota’s Lake Itasca and ending near New Orleans’s delta at the Gulf of Mexico, runs as the spine of an older America, linking 10 states. The revolution of railroad transportation and commerce, in the late 1800s, left the memory of the Mississippi River’s array of steamboats, especially on the St. Louis Riverfront. The absence of the river boats brought misfortune to the St. Louis riverfront, quickly decaying and serving little purpose to its existence besides a dumpsite. Continuously exploited by the vastness of industrialization and anthropogenic related-activities, it is underutilized by its people. Notorious for its toxicity, pollution, and color, it is a direct influence from our own actions. Have we neglected the river into a wasted memory? One weekend I decided to venture out onto the waters. Beginning from home, in SkinkerDebaliviere neighborhood, I drove east to the banks of the Gateway Arch to meet a team of canoe enthusiasts and drive to north St. Louis. We then unloaded our gear and prepared to paddle down the river from Mosenthein Island back to the Arch’s riverfront levee. The following photographs depict a story of St. Louisians, nature, engineering, and industries, framing the realities of our riverfront—good and bad.

inneapolis Water Works Park & Pavillion, “Reusing the Industrial Remnants of Old Minneapolis,”—

Minneapolis’s Downtown River District has undergone much change and one of its latest initiatives to attract residents back to the riverfront in its upper historic industrial riverfront is the Water Works Park & Pavilion project The urban project began in 2010 with the support from the Minneapolis Parks Foundation and the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board, and was designed by design + engineering firm HGA. The city’s connection to the river is incredibly cherished, with a 72 mile long national park running through its core and the adjacent St. Paul, MN. A parcel of vacant industrial remnants is the beginning to an 11-mile stretch of riverfront proposals. The Water Works project will be reusing an old Flour Mill and converting it into a restaurant, public space, and educational opportunity for industrial and ecological history. Aside from the pavilion will be outdoor terraces, spaces, and an upstream observatory.

hicago Downtown Riverwalk development, “the Jetty, Water Plaza, River Theater, Cove, and Marina”—

Chicago’s Downtown Riverwalk was designed and engineered in three phases, from 2009 to 2016. Its latest phase, completed by design + engineering firm Sasaki Associates, lines the downtown Chicago riverfront at an area of 3.5 acres.

The Chicago River was once notorious for its pollution and uncontrollable flow, it was then engineered and ultimately reversed in its direction to flow downstream towards the Mississippi River System— through channelization. With a grand vision to transform the river into an ecological, economic, and recreational benefit for the city, the area underwent development in different phases and zones. Sasaki Associates worked on a six block riverfront development that was composed of five different zones: The Jetty, the Water Plaza, the River Theater, the Cove, the Marina, and the Riverbank.

Each of these zones offers a different focus ranging from retail to recreation.

incinnati’s John G. and Phyllis W. Smale Riverfront Park, “reconnecting downtown to the Ohio River”—

The Smale Riverfront Park was planned since 1997, and its first phase opened to the public in 2012. Led by the Cincinnati Park Board and Parks, the riverfront was designed by design + engineering firm Sasaki Associates.

The intent of this environmental & cultural riverfront was to reconnect Cincinnati with the Ohio River and protect the downtown from imminent river flooding. The 32 acre development is engulfed by vegetation and greenscape, acting as a environmental buffer and sponge in case of flooding. Across the 32 acre development are an array of different activities including an amphitheater, pavilions, parks, open public spaces, bike trails, walking trails, restaurant, 1000’ long riverfront promenade, and seasonal riverfront docking. The development’s guiding principle was to connect downtown Cincinnati’s cultural and historic architecture with a sense of community in the shape of a waterfront district.

Pt. III — The Heritage of Breweries in St. Louis

John Coons Brewery

Anheuser-Busch Brewing Assoc.

Where the Gateway Arch now stands, once stood St. Louis’s oldest brewery, from 1809 to 1811. The Pre-Prohibition brewery was one of 108 small brewery pubs in the city of St. Louis at the time, This primitive brewery was owned by a man named John Coons, and it was believed “strong” Ales (x>5% ABV) and Porter beers were served. This was all before the influx of German immigrants.

Soon after the introduction of the Anheuser Budweiser, the company finally changed its name to AnheuserBusch Brewing Association— the international name we recognize today.

The years following after were full of lawsuits regarding other breweries use of the name Budweiser, but also filled with technological advancement. AB introduced the first methods of artificial refrigeration, radically transforming the brewery process world-wide.

The Bavarian Brewery Co. By the 1850s, St. Louis was home to 17 breweries, totaling a near 60,000 BBL per year. Among these was George Schneider, whose brewery at the time only produced 500 BBL per year. Facing severe financial crises, the Bavarian Brewery declared bankruptcy and were taken over by then soap and candle manufacturing company E. Anheuser & Co.

Johann Adam Lemp, of Eschwege, Germany, immigrated to the United States, in 1836. He arrived in Cincinnati, Ohio, but later moved to St. Louis, Missouri, in 1838. By 1840, Lemp established his first brewery on the block of 6th St. and Morgan St. He was recognized as “the Father of Lager Beer in St. Louis,” the first brew-master to introduce lager beer to the United States.

Lemp/Western Brewery

It wasn’t long after the succession of the Bavarian Brewing Co. that the mega-brewery we famously recognize today as Anheuser-Busch, was born.

It began with the arrival of Adolphus Busch to St. Louis in 1857, then marrying Anheuser’s daughter Lilly, by 1861. Busch began working under the Anheuser Brewery and patented the first Budweiser by 1876, alongside friend Carl Conrad, at the time where the brewery operated at a capacity of 45,000 BBL per year.

Upon the arrival of the St. Louis World’s Fair, Adolphus Busch and Adam Lemp were appointed as members of the Board of Directors. Together with several smaller breweries they created the largest dining and entertainment venue at the fair— a six acre biergarten called the “German Tyrolean Alps.” At this time, St. Louis was among the top three top producers of beer in the US, around 1.7 million BBL per year.

Why a Brewery on the Mississippi Riverfront in St. Louis?

AB, National Historic Landmark

Prohibition Era The end of the glory days following the success of various breweries, large and small, and the St. Louis World’s Fair, the United States announced a ban on all alcoholic beverages above 0.5% ABV. This ban occurred during the WWI and efforts to conserve grains, and reduce crime and social instability nationwide. However, some breweries like AB and Lemp maintained operations on other products like near-beer, malt tonic, soda, ice, malt, wagons, refrigerated cabinets,and even cured hams!

1920 1933

Thirteen years after the declaration of prohibition on alcoholic beverages, beer was back. By 1948, the companies AB and Falstaff (formerly known as the Lemp Brewery) breweries, were at the forefront of being the largest producers in the United States. Anheuser-Busch ranked 4th with a staggering 4 million BBL annually, Falstaff was in 5th with 2.3 million BBL per year.

End to Prohibition 69

By the 1950s, AB’s successes led to the opening of new brewing facilities in Newark, Los Angeles, Houston, Tampa, Jacksonville, Merrimack, and more.

This placed AB above all American breweries with a staggering capacity of 13.5 million BBL in 1966, they were officially the, “King of Beers”. A year later, Anheuser-Busch’s Company Headquarters, in St. Louis, is declared a National Historic Landmark by the United States Department of the Interior.

1967 1991 On December 26th of 1991, the first new brewery to rise since prohibition, in St. Louis, was created by owners Dan and Charles Kopman, Tom Schlafly, and Joe Tennant — the St. Louis Brewery (later Schlafly). This was no ordinary brewery, a new state law allowed for food to also be served along with a retail liquor license with a production cap of 2,300 BBL — these kind of establishments called “brewpubs” began popping up everywhere and with it rose the microbrewery scene of craft beers.

Arrival of Craft Breweries

STL Brewers Heritage Festival Sponsored by Anheuser-Busch, a cultural event called the “St. Louis Brewers Heritage Festival” occurred between May 10-12 in Forest Park.

The new annual event featured beer from 7 existing St. Louis area breweries, including: Morgan Street Brewery, O’Fallon Brewery, and The Saint Louis Brewery (later Schlafly).

This was another major milestone in acknowledging the St. Louisian identity with the heritage of beer.

2007 2017—

By 2017, nearly 60 breweries of various sizes now operate in the city of St. Louis and the Greater Region. There is undoubtedly a foundation for growth, in a vast market of independent craft breweries and cultural significance...

Although in recent problematic times with climate change, have they kept environmental promises and helped with environmental stewardship for the quality of the Mississippi River?

Pt. III — The Heritage of Breweries in St. Louis

O

ver two hundred years ago, not too long after the founding of St. Louis in 1764, the introduction of beer brewing occurred in the early city of St. Louis. The

ordinary banks. The Karst Topography meant there were underground caverns at much cooler temperatures during the warmer months at ground level. This was an

man who introduced beer was named John Coon, and in 1809 opened up the first primitive brewery, on the current location of the Gateway Arch grounds. Since then there has been a tremendous rich history of culture and

advantage for brewing lager-styled beers because they were meant to be fermented at colder temperatures for its targeted distinct woody flavor. Additionally, when the river froze over the breweries would extract large chunks

sciences for the beer-brewing scene in St. Louis, starting with the more renowned large companies like the Lemp Brewery, Falstaff Brewing Co., and the internationally

of ice to store in ice houses or underground cellars for maintaining a cool beer storage. The successes of the breweries at its origin was short lived, when a federal ban

recognized Anheuser-Busch Brewing Co.— then the

on alcohol products above 0.5% was imposed in 1920.

Bavarian Company. As noted in the history timeline of brewing in St. Louis, some major events that transformed

The years that followed after the end of prohibition saw a different type of brewery operation erupt, the brewpub

the scene occurred with the arrival of German figures such as Adam Lemp, Eberhard Anheuser, and Adolph Busch.

Within the first 100 years, St. Louis witnessed over a 100 breweries rise and fall in their operations to appeal to the growing market, at one point not meeting the demand of the city at its peak population of nearly a million! Many breweries, like the primitive John Coon brewery, built their facilities by the river because of various reasons, including proximity to ship commerce and transportation, water source intake, wastewater discharge, bustling communities with plenty of people, but most notable because of the topography underneath. St. Louis was found as a large limestone bank above the Mississippi River’s

and craft breweries. These new types of breweries were legally allowed to operate as both taprooms and manufacturers, with the possibility of serving food, as long their beer barrel (BBL) annual yield was 2,300 BBL or less. It began with the first post-Prohibition brewery, thats widely recognized in St. Louis, the Schlafly Brewing Co., in 1991. Years later, microbreweries are now allowed to operate at a maximum of 15,000 BBL per year, and are allowed to hosts plenty of other social and retail spaces, with the exception of direct distribution of product.

Why a Brewery on the Mississippi Riverfront in St. Louis?

“There has been a great tradition and deep-rooted culture to beer-brewing in St. Louis, only rivaled by a few other cities on the eastern seaboard—— we begin to envision a new microbrewery with various other activities to catalyze a stagnant neighborhood and bring people back to the riverfront.”

The grist is augured into the mash-lauter tun and combined with hot water to form a thick porridge, called the mash. This soaks at 149°F for about an hour. During this time, the starch in the malt is being broken down and converted into sugars by enzymes in the grain. These malt sugars are what the yeast will ferment later on. After the mash has sat for forty minutes, sparging begins: 168° water is sprayed

Pre-Chlorination Dosing System

7

If the water intake contains heavy metals or known contamination, it is encouraged to supply chlorination before the filtration process.

2

Raw Water Storage Tank

For larger RO systems, antiscalant dosing systems are used to prevent membrane damage.

8

Some RO Systems can draw water right out of a well or pipe feed, most reverse osmosis system begin with a large contaminated water tank. Not having enough feed water can damage a pump, so having a large storage tank for your intake water is common to ensure machine longevity.

3

Feed Water Pum

Multi-Layer or Media Filter

9

Activated Carbon Filter

10

Automatic Water Softener Automatic water softeners are designed to remove water hardness, calcium and magnesium ions, for smaller RO systems, we usually recommend water softeners instead of antiscalant chemical dosing.

Post-Chlorination Dosing System If the permeate water is expected to be stored for more than one day, it is strongly recommended to dose some additional chlorine to maintain clean and non contaminated water.

11

Re-Pressurization, Product Water Pump This pump re-pressurizes the permeate water to the point of use ends. This is selected based on the overall traveling distance and required head. This pump must be selected in stainless steel to prevent any contamination to the permeate resulting water.

Activated carbon filters are good solutions to reduce organic, bad taste, smell and chlorine from the water.

6

Product Water Storage Tank The permeate from the RO system will usually go to a large tank, where it is held for future use. Sometimes, a RO system pumps water directly into a well or aquifer for recharging instead of being used immediately.

There are some things membranes can’t purify. Nitrates, a common contaminant found in fertilizers and animal waste, are a good example of particles that dissolve too well in water for reverse osmosis to catch them. A Multi-Layer filter can be filled with media that specifically targets the things a RO system can’t filter, along with foul odor and taste.

5

Reverse Osmosis System The RO system can produce up to one million gallons of product water a day from a steady intake, as well as a sizable amount of waste. Usually the wastewater can be dumped down the drain, but should be checked with your local water authorities.

A commercial or industrial pump provides the initial pressure for the Treatment System. This motor normally provides enough water pressure for pretreatment.

4

Antiscalant Chemical Dosing System

12

UV-Sterilizer Product Water A UV sterilizer is placed after the storage tank, and as a final disinfection phase device. Post-Chlorination can also be performed in its place.

In this added space, there can be a new micro-brewery that acts an environmental steward and utilizes the Mississippi River water in small amounts. In front of the new intervention is also a proposed ecological wetlands to provide educational and recreational opportunities to visitors of the re-imagined Laclede’s Landing— in return creating a natural buffer in flooding events.

imilarly, this one also utilizes the existent riverfront levee and its banks to create a natural buffer zone andfilter wastewater back to the river. Unlike the first collage, this possibility removes one half of the existent garage and intervenes with he micro-brewery, to accommodate for machinery required ceiling heights and provide for visual atria opportunities. Another possibility is an adjacent green space, as noted earlier in the site plan studies, that can also be used as ecological wetlands, or in this case, a biergarten outdoor social space connected to the brewery... Laclede’s Landing can help the Gateway Arch expansion and attract its visitors to explore an older St. Louis, the river city.

A

fter explorations of various typologies along the St. Louis riverfront, it was understood the scale and complexity of its programmatic uses can limit imagination of interventions. The near North Riverfront is a chaotic

industrial zone and to bring public inwards would disrupt major commerce and transportation logistics already in place. Oppositely, Chouteau’s Landing requires a major redevelopment scheme to provide ample support to any proposed businesses, the shells for growth are there but one architectural intervention cannot perform on its own.

These examples lead to the site proposal and promise for Laclede’s Landing. There was once much more life here, especially as a night-time destination for social spaces— but that has gone. There are current incremental efforts occurring that have slowly begun to revitalize the neighborhood, such as repaving the cobble stone streets it is historically known for. Is it enough? The neighborhood needs a destination. A place to mark the historical significance of the founding of St. Louis, and what the city stand for. Tangible heritage is a powerful statement and can embody various values for a society, or city, in the forms of physical structures, art, buildings, but ultimately a sense of place.

There is the Gateway Arch only steps away from Laclede’s Landing that attempts to do just that, but its dark history is difficult for many and represents St. Louis for things aside its cultural history— westward expansion is obviously notable yet it doesn’t quite relate to the common St. Louisian. So to intervene in already historically and culturally charged area like Laclede’s Landing, we discussed what St. Louis values or has valued the most, aside from its sports, foods, arts, music, there are two major characteristics unique to the city: Beer Breweries and the Mississippi River System.

P

roposing a beer micro-brewery for its cultural and social implications is just the beginning. Although a sense of place that embody the St. Louisian lifestyle is exactly the goal, there is a major opportunity to dive into ecological connections with the Mississippi River. Beer generates vast waste and requires even larger amounts of water. The river can supply the required amount of water needed for beer production with proposed auxiliary water treatment systems, in return bridging the connection for its visitors on how the river has been a vital component to the city’s founding and progress. An environmental stewardship, to maintain water quality, care, recreation, and so on with the riverfront. As for the beer waste, an opportunity to collaborate with nearby farmers or gardeners to use its waste as feed or fertilizer can create various connections back into the city and county. It should be understood that for a project of this scope, based on ecological benefits, the intervention will be an adaptive reuse of an exiting structure in Laclede’s Landing. An existing Riverfront Parking Garage will be converted or partially demolished to provide the spaces for the brewery and supporting spaces. The project will not cut off the connection to the river by proposing new physical river barriers, but instead design with the water and take advantage of its proximity to the dynamic natural body of water for both water source, but also recreation. Water will be welcomed into the structure in events of flooding, the structure will strive to accommodate its intrusion as an opportunity for public interaction or simply acceptance... We begin to remove the boundaries of avoidance and ignorance to the riverfront of the Mississippi River, we design with it in mind.

T 115

o re-imagine a new urban riverfront, beginning with Laclede’s Landing, in St. Louis, MO, the river city.
