River Street
Savannah, Georgia
Collaboration with: Alessandra Andonie

 
The waterfront is one of the most interesting and prominent parts of a city, and not many cities have the priviledge of having one. Savannah’s River Street has been successful, mostly for tourists, yet it is only partially used. To tackle this problem we took the two ends (perceived) of the waterfront and turned them into parks. By doing this the whole street will be activated and conencted.

WEST END PARK:
Both parks are for everyone, yet this park has extra features that attract students. This was made because many student buildings are nearby.
