Revitalization

Revitalization is my senior project that focuses on creating a riverfront park that focuses on addressing the issue of flooding in Mission Valley while also incorporating several types of recreational and cultural elements. The concept statement is “Grey Space to Green Space”.

Project Issue

Flooding is a major issue in Mission Valley. Historically being a floodplain, this issue needs to be addressed first for maximum efficiency.

In-Site Context

The main issue on site is the issue of flooding. Designing the park with consideration for the current floodplains and adjacent Murphy Canyon Creek will be essential. The proposed buildings will also help with the arrangement of various design elements.
