I. The Development Strategy

1. The Concepts

a. The Philosophy for the Use of the Land

Goal: The master plan should relate to the larger ideas of the transformation of the city with the philosophy that the North Shore should be about the development of the individual and the building of people not just places. The places of spiritual wellbeing in word and music, namely the Cathedral and amphitheatre, and the places of physical well being, namely the public fields and stadia come together for the individual along with the place of science, the places of work, and the places of entertainment. The basic desires to meet, to learn, to compete, and to interact with our Creator can come together in the structures and exterior spaces we choose to build within a sports theme for the area from the Sixth St. bridge to West End bridge.

 

b. Integration of the Site and of Building Forms

Concept: The major gathering spaces orient to the water and the city and reinforce each other spacially, socially, and economically. Major axes of the spaces and of circulation paths orient on the fountain and tie the North Shore to the Point and to the North Side. Extensions of these axes align with and tie the North Shore to elements on Mt. Washington. Major dynamic arc forms in plan and section relate to both the vocabulary of the road movement cutting through the site and to the sweeping forms of the bridges and to the fields they wrap. The concept of the city where the low buildings occur at the water and rise to inner streets is continued on the North Shore. The major sweeping stepped and crescent forms allow for light and view and relate to each other. The street grid imposed on the site is spanned by buildings and circulation bridges creating the idea of portals and heightening the spacial experience of traveling through the site. The building forms express unity and freedom and break boundaries as they reach for the sky and water. In program, active public and participatory sports related spaces become part of all buildings which face onto the water.

 

c. The Impetus to Invest and Build Creatively

The uniqueness of the concept conveyed as the beginning of architecture

with a marketable program will provide the impetus to invest.

 

d. Architecture of a Higher Order

In seeking architecture of a higher order the architect of great talent must come together with the client of positive creative thought. For every building in the masterplan of the North Shore an architect of distinction will be chosen and a client with vision will be sought.

 

e. Growth of the Site and of Individual Structures

The goal is to allow the growth of the site to occur in stages and yet achieve a definition of space and a notion of what is come, and a feeling of completeness at every stage. The ability of buildings to grow in a linear fashion makes possible that goal with growth from the water's edge to the inner site while defining space with trees and the landscape and temporary tensile structures. The future movement of the cranes also generates the linear and

crescent forms.
