IDENTITY SYNTHESIS LANDSCAPE PERFORMANCE RESEARCH Caitlin Smith & Katelyn Nimic

GOALS •

By creating this green transit corridor we hope to create a memorable destination in Lincoln that connects active young professionals & diverse family housing to the surrounding cultural & environmental centers. The hope is that this unified community is inclusive & welcoming.

MEMORABLE •

One of the most important aspects of the identity of this corridor is to make it a memorable destination. This can be accomplished by highlighting the unique aspect of bus-only transit along this corridor & by making the pedestrian the focus of this area.

UNIFIED •

In order to create a unified corridor our designs should connect the different community spaces such as the active young professionals & the accessible family housing. This can be accomplished through a unified plant & material palette.

INCLUSIVE •

As we redesign the M Street Corridor it is important that the new design feels inclusive & welcoming to the existing community in this area. We hope to celebrate the diversity of this space and provide designed areas that encourage postive community exchange.
