RIVERFRONT PARK
Nashville, Tennesse
Standing firmly on previous community planning processes and over a hundred different city master plans, the Nashville Riverfront Master Plan unifies previous efforts while proposing a visionary intervention into Nashville’s Downtown. The project creates a 150 acre island by carving a new recreational waterway between the existing Titans stadium and inner I-24 loop. The stadium is surrounded by an urban forest sculpture park which doubles as parking for football events. The Urban Forest is connected to a series of a larger framework of public open spaces which stretch through the site. Development within the island is concentrated along a major new north/south boulevard which links fragmented portions of East Nashville. This development also defines a new active rivers edge with a multi-level Riverwalk framed by commercial, marina, and residential development.
