SW 2nd Avenue Streetscape Project
Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Our approach to this project is one that is inherently about urban design and space-creation. It is not simply a matter of beautification, but rather as the process of embedding the environment with value to take advantage of inherent, flexible opportunities. We believe that these, in turn, will animate socialization, celebrate the culture of place, and provide for a multi-functional framework. We seek to capture the human experience, including mood, atmosphere, color, sound, tactility, pleasure and light that characterizes the ethos of ‘place’ that lives at this intersection of:
- Culture – with the Broward Center for the Performing Arts, Museum of Discovery and Science, and the Esplanade Park,
- Socialization – with the vibrant Himmarshee Street nightlife scene,
- History – with the campus of historical buildings, including the Museum of History, Hoch Heritage Center, Philemon Bryan House, King-Cromartie House, and the Schoolhouse), and
- Access and Connectivity – with the continuity of the Riverwalk as a major destination linking the various waterfront properties.
Our goal for this project is to provide a design solution that results in products that are resilient, innovative, creative, sensitive, inspiring, memorable, responsible, interpretive, comprehensive, imaginative and visionary. We will lead by design and lead with design.
