AECOM <br /> <br />Design + Planning <br />Landscape Architecture + Urban Design <br /> <br />Additional Services <br />Construction Administration <br /> <br />Completed: 2009 <br /> <br />Phoenix Downtown Civic Space <br /> <br /> <br />Civic Space Park is a unique and innovative <br />addition to downtown Phoenix. Weaving <br />together an urban oasis with the downtown <br />fabric, it is distinguished by elements <br />that are versatile and forward-thinking. <br />Public and private, past and future, art <br />and engineering; are all integrated into <br />the design, which reflects a commitment <br />to public engagement, sustainability, <br />and community. The partnership of city, <br />community, and designers created a vibrant <br />and iconic destination at the city's heart. <br /> <br />The park offers residents, workers, <br />students, and visitors a compelling <br />experience of urban design, green space, <br />shade structu res, interactive LED lighting <br />columns and water features, public art- <br />and a lesson in sustainable design. This <br />civic space is unique because it weaves <br />together contextual elements from a <br />variety of user groups, including visitors <br />and neighborhood residents. The location <br />of the park is also central to Arizona State <br /> <br />Ao;-COM <br /> <br />University's downtown campus, with <br />a focus on pedestrian passages, bus <br />routes, and light rail connections. Directly <br />adjacent to the Downtown Central Station, <br />the park blends public realm with mass <br />transit. The park sits between the north <br />and south lines of the new Valley Metro <br />Light Rail and, as a part of the park design, <br />created a mid-block crossing from the <br />Taylor Street pedestrian corridor. <br /> <br />The final construction of the space was <br />completed nine months ago which has <br />provided an excellent amount of time to <br />receive feedback from the residents and <br />visitors of the park. Along with numerous <br />articles of praise and awards, the city has <br />received incredibly positive feedback from <br />the public. Civic Space Park has achieved <br />one of its main goals of being flexible <br />enough to fit the needs of the multitude of <br />user groups, while still providing a distinct <br />design with unique and iconic elements to <br />a growing metropolis. <br /> <br />Phoenix, AZ <br />Client: Arizona State University! <br />City of Phoenix Parks and <br />Recreation Department <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />City of Sunny Isles Beach I Design & Permitting Services of the Intracoastal Parks RFQ No, 12-04-04 <br /> <br />29 <br />
