THE ST LOUIS PARKS PROJECT

St Louis has 109 parks, administered by the city. This project re-imagines the city’s parks system as a network of linked greenspace that positions St Louis as a leader in the coordinated development of urban parks. Phase One of the project involves researching urban park best practices world-wide and developing a set of criteria for selecting a number of parks to reformulate through design. One way the selected parks were investigated was by means of drawing procedures that focused on critical components of the existing layouts.
