Submission Deadline – 13 March 2008
PROGRAM:
Competitors are to develop concepts for the adaptive reuse of an abandoned industrial building located on the Mississippi riverfront, just north of downtown St. Louis, MO and Eero Saarinen’s Gateway Arch. The building lies within an historic district currently undergoing redevelopment. Most of the buildings within the district are remnants St. Louis’ industrial past, specifically, here, that of power generation and cold storage for the river and railroad commerce of the early 20th century. With the exception of three historic facades, the 100,000 sf building is a blank slate for many uses, the choice of which will be left up to the competitor.
Entries will include a proposal for programming pointedly specific to the present moment and immediate future, while addressing the eventual re-use of the building. A comprehensive sustainable approach to the design will be required.
