emeryville green

This schematic plan dis­cov­ers and democ­ra­tizes Emeryville’s most impor­tant over­looked asset: the water’s edge.

It mends Emeryville’s urban fab­ric into a green, mixed use, pedes­trian civic cen­ter. Its axis and ori­en­ta­tions are rewo­ven into the waters edge, and laced with pub­lic spaces that ele­vate views, cel­e­brate the bay, the bridge, and our pre­cious sunset.

This work is from a 2-week project work­ing with the City of Emeryville Plan­ning Depart­ment to develop a scheme for the rede­vel­op­ment of Emeryville Mar­ket­place. This was part of a UC Berke­ley Plan­ning Stu­dio taught by Pro­fes­sor Michael Southworth.
