The client provided the consulting team a sandbox to invent an approach and “system of thinking”. A series of sites were identified ranging in size from half an acre to six acres. A general bucket of mixed-use programs including food-oriented uses, recreation, art spaces, and affordable housing became ingredients for dynamic additions to the urban fabric, as well as components to encourage healthy lifestyles. The consulting team developed a conceptual tool in order to bring spatial design and health outcomes into communication with one another. “The Matrix” is a key proposal of the work which creates a bridge between health-related research and literature, factors, health impacts, program, and design parameters. Unlike the often linear check-list approaches typical of green building scoring systems, the tool was intentionally flexible, but rigorous, so the science of health could help energize design creativity rather than limit it.

By treating the site lightly, with a series of small-scale, low-impact interventions we aim to catalyze community development around the site. As the site becomes an attractor, the possibilities for infill on vacant land in neighboring urban fabric would grow. We propose anchoring this new urban fabric with a major iconic civic building – a new St. Louis Arch for the 21st Century – and finally increasing density with a series of buildings ringing the site and enlivening the street edge. We are positioning the role of powerful architecture as a future payoff for growing a new healthy urban fabric incrementally, rather than architecture as a catalyst in itself.

We define sustainability broadly as a multi-layered composite of urban, architectural, environmental and economic considerations. The project uses everyday program typologies as a point of departure for new hybrid conditions, and looks to wire them into the existing energy of the city as a method for creating a busy, twenty-four hour precinct for both locals and visitors. We look to invite the vibrant red umbrella markets adjacent to our site as a new connective tissue to enliven surrounding urban streets. Our overall goal is to create a new hybrid urban building that is equally attractive to both locals, business people, students, and tourists without the stigma of projects customized to any one group. By bringing this diverse set of actors into close, comfortable proximity – economic, social and cultural advantages are achieved.
