This assignment was to analyze Elements of the Public Realm within the Bi-State Sustainable Reinvestment Corridor. I was assigned Lights with this I wanted to look at the relationship that lights had with Community Centers as well as how lights that were in these Centers differed from the lighting made for cars just seconds away from these Centers.

After my analysis of the Lighting I decided to set a Standard for lighting from 1 of the 4 examples I found and use that standard as a blueprint from redeveloping Genesee St in the West Bottoms. The Reason for this selection was based on how ripe this area is for a New Community Center and the lack of a diversity of lighting within the area As you can see in the Board below.

From the Standard I added a lot more Lamp post along the street to make the area more welcoming to pedestrians. As well as moving Lemonade Park to having more of a relationship Genesee and the numerous Business that line the street opposed to being on the back side of the Block. In addition Perspective 3 shows a nice outside seating area that had no outside lighting so I added some nice string lights to create a intimate dining experience from the restaurant. Overall I wanted to improve the streets lighting when it came to the pedestrian experience and with these changes I believe this street would become one of the Community Center that people love to come to.
