[CIVIC
MINDED] MINDING THE FUTURE OF the Civic Arena David
Roth & Victor BeltranPlant
the Arena… Grow the Hill: Eco-City - a ‘live-learn-work’ zone connected to the
Hill’s Greenprint vision & the world
We rededicate the Lower Hill to the people who are building our future
through conservation, collaboration and community. CENTRAL MARKET - imagine a market house that grows it’s own food… financed
by it’s own sales!
A ‘first day attraction’ and fitting reinvention of the arena, designed to
preserve the essential structure, as an anchor attraction for co-development.
Integrating a first-of-its-kind vertical greenhouse structure, the existing
building will be adapted to house an arcade of vendors representing the many
foods of Pittsburgh’s cultures and communities. CRAWFORD GREEN – is a fair housing complex comprising apartments for low to
moderate-income tenants, and ranging from students to seniors. The project reflects
a public commitment to create the new generation of social housing and seeks to
provide a setting for healthy, sustainable living. Street Level Arts Zone
includes clubs, galleries and small shops.CONFERENCE CENTER – with a view of a fabulously converted 20th century
landmark, this is no ordinary hotel. The center is a mixed-use complex with a
concert hall, theatre, meeting rooms, shopping arcades and a prestigious hotel.GREEN BOXES - constructed over
time, as needed, this incubator space will be developed, marketed and leased
exclusively to green-thinking businesses. It will provide R&D space for
projects conceived at the neighboring Green Innovators facility.
