Mission: Building upon the iconic vision of the group plan of 1903, we will renew the heart of downtown cleveland for today's citizens and future generations by transforming and connecting the city's signature public spaces.
Programs: Redevelopment of public square in the city of cleveland: as both a neighborhood and a center of activity, downtown cleveland deserves a major, celebrated greenspace. The transformation of public square will provide this. Public square's four individual quadrants will be merged into a singular public park. It is intended for use throughout the year for a wide range of programs and events. Landscape and design will create a soft colorful space that invites people in and encourages them to stay. The square will include pedestrian pathways, green spaces for concerts and events, and areas to sit and lounge. Gardens will invite passersby into the space and serve as stand-alone attractions. The redesign will create a space that is more inviting and flexible. A cobblestone ribbon will unite the entire square, providing texture and continuity throughout the site and better integrating superior avenue. The northern half of public square will be a green sloped lawn with an overlook and concert hill. Well-suited for casual everyday use, this design also creates a natural amphitheater for events like movie nights and concerts. The southern half of public square will be a hardscape plaza including a cafe and seating, a speaker's terrace, the soldiers and sailors monument, and a mirrored fountain water feature.
