Dynamic Riverfront

Riverfront Urban Design Reactivating Strip District

Pittsburgh, PA

Strip District is a unique area located in Pittsburgh, PA. With a long industrial history, Strip District preserves most of its industrial heritage and turns the old warehouse into business. Besides, one of the most principal rivers in Pennsylvania--Allegheny River--passes through the Strip District and plays an important role in connecting the society with nature.

However, the south side of the Allegheny River located at the Strip District is not actively used and loses its connection to a larger scale.

This studio is based on The Three Rivers Park Planning accepted by the City of Pittsburgh. Within the large-scale planning of riverfront system, the planning is aimed at doing a better connection of Pittsburgh.

This project is intended to create a public riverfront space for everyone to use. In the meantime, highlighting the industrial heritage, reactivating the riverfront, and using green corridors leading people to enjoy the place.
