THE ASCENSION ALLEY

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE STUDIO / SPRING 2019

This formerly undervalued, predominantly industrial zone offers many opportunities to be enlivened. Treating this site as a brownfield development, the buildings previously seen as intimidating and out of scale will be redesigned keeping human scale in mind. With the multiple climbing gyms as well as nearby breweries, design features such as planter barrels and climbable facades will be incorporated throughout the revItalization. In addition, this site will include a pedestrian promenade in the alley that will capitalize on the restaurants that will replace the spaces previously used by warehouses.
