The following urban design projects address the problems mentioned above and display innovative approaches as well as transformation strategies for a location are the Piers from Fisherman’s Wharf all the way down to the Piers of the southern waterfront. The Design projects themselves are located in the southern area and include Pier 80 to 96 as well as the Heron’s Head Park. The location is well connected to the infrastructure of the city and allows the site to be transformed into an attractive urban space.
The projects considered both higher-level contexts and the analysis of the site. In addition to the analysis and presentations of historical and contemporary case studies - significant in terms of urban planning and architecture - discussions were held to classify and evaluate what has been seen. The aim of the urban and landscape design with an architectural design project of choice was to open up development potentials, to link fragmented areas with each other, to activate area potentials as well as to develop suitable public space and building typologies in dealing with the special features of the location next to the water.
