ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION To: From: Subject: COMMISSION MEMORANDUM Adopt the Resolution. ANALYSIS On September 8, 2004, the Mayor and City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2004- 25681, approving Concept Plan #4 presented by the NWS; referring the issue of the Park design to the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee; requesting the Design Review Board to do a preliminary design review and send it back to City Commission for review and approval; and addressing the parking space issue. November 10, 2004 City Commission Memorandum NWS - Development Agreement Page 2 of 3 By way of background, Concept Plan #4 provides for Soundspace and related support structures, including the garage, to be situated on the surface parking lot west of Drexel Avenue and for a park and function/performance space area to occupy the lot east of Drexel Avenue. The main entrance lobby and drop-off area would be on Drexel Avenue, with support and classroom space occupying the south side of the lot. The garage would be located on the west side of the lot, with entrance and egress located on Pennsylvania Avenue. In order to enhance the facility's visibility from Lincoln Road and the surrounding area, the main entrance is characterized by a 65-75ft-high architectural element. The plan also calls for Drexel Avenue to meander eastward into the Park between Lincoln Lane and 17th Street, which provides a unique opportunity to integrate Drexel Avenue into the design of Soundspace, creating a true public plaza-type feel and providing the ability to close the street during certain Park-related events. As part of Concept Plan #4, an integrated park component was incorporated in the project site. Pursuant to the direction of the City Commission on September 8, 2004 and consistent with the Planning Board's August 24, 2004 recommendation that the entire two (2) blocks, including the Park, be designed as an integrated site, Gehry Partners LLP was asked to submit a proposal and cost estimate to undertake design services for the proposed Park. The proposal was submitted for review by the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee at its meeting on October 26, 2004. It should be noted that as basis for preparing the cost estimate, a coordination meeting was held between Gehry Partners and Chen and Associates, the firm engaged by the City to undertake the City Center right-of-way (ROW) improvement program. The purpose of the meeting was to define the respective firms' scope of work relative to those street improvements immediately surrounding the 17th Street Surface lots. For the purpose of this discussion, Gehry Partners developed a site plan, dividing the site and the immediate area surrounding the site into a series of seven zones, in order to come up with add-alternate pricing for the City's consideration. A site map reflecting these zones is included in the attached cost proposal. The proposal comprises add-alternate pricing for Zone 1, comprising the east surface lot and Drexel Avenue; Zone 2, comprising the area adjacent to TOPA; and Zone 3, encompassing Lincoln Lane. The areas in Zones 4 through 7, either fall under Chen & Associates' scope of work, or shall be decided upon as part of Chen's internal visioning/planning process, to be completed in January, 2005. The total cost for Zone 1, comprising the park, Drexel Avenue and improvements adjacent to the new garage, has been estimated at $1 0 Million in 2008 dollars. It is important to note that this number represents a "build-to" number rather than a set cost forthe entire Project. Zone 2, comprising the TOPA entry landscaping has been estimated a $1,150,000 and Zone 3, comprising Lincoln Lane improvements, at $500,000. During the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee meeting, Commissioner Gross emphasized the importance of enhancing the connection between Convention Center Drive and Lincoln Road via Pennsylvania Avenue. November 10, 2004 City Commission Memorandum NWS - Development Agreement Page 3 of 3 The City Manager emphasized the fact that even though Gehry Partners was engaged by the NWS, the City will retain discretion over the design of the Project. Furthermore, the NWS has committed to using a Basis of Design (BOOR) process, to include community design workshops in developing its plans for the Project. The Committee recommended in favor of amending the Development Agreement between the City and NWS to expand the NWS' scope to include the design and development of the Zone 1, comprising the park, Drexel Avenue between North Lincoln Lane and 17th Street and improvements adjacent to the new garage, at the Owner's cost and expense, not to exceed $10,000,000; Zone 2, comprising the Theater of the Performing Arts entry landscaping at the Owner's cost and expense, not to exceed $1,150,000; and Zone 3, comprising North Lincoln Lane improvements, at the Owner's cost and expense, not to exceed $500,000. Pursuant to Sections 163.3220-163.3243, Florida Statutes, before entering into, amending, or revoking a development agreement, a local government shall conduct at least two public hearings. As such, the Administration recommends setting the first public hearing for consideration of the proposed amendment on Wednesday, December 8, 2004.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Page 3 ('ity ('enter Park Proposal New World Symphony THE NEW WORLD SYMPHONY PROJECT History The New World Symphony (NWS) has entered into a Development Agreement with the City of Miami Beach wherein NWS will build a new 700 seat educational performance and internet broadcasting facility not to exceed a building footprint of 50,000 sf and, acting as Developer on behalf of the City, will construct a 320+ space parking garage facility on the Development Site. The site is located on a site bounded by ] ih Street to the north, Lincoln Lane to the south, Pennsylvania to the west and Drexel Ave. to the east. Per the Development Agreement, the New World Symphony presented the concept design for the Development Site to the City Commissioners on Sept 8, 2004. The design submitted by Gehry Partners included an urban design concept for the Development Site as well as the entire block to the east of the Site, encompassing two city blocks. The project design includes the performance venue for NWS, a public parking garage for 475 cars with an option to expand to 644 cars, and a public park on the lot east of Drexel A venue. The New World Symphony project was presented as an integrated complex designed by the renowned architect Frank Gehry on the two-block site. The Commissioners favorably approved the project concept plan for the location ofthe NWS building and the parking structure. The Commissioners requested more detailed information regarding the public park to be presented to the Finance Committee for further consideration. City Center Park Proposal Per the September 8, 2004 meeting, NWS and Gehry Partners have prepared this proposal with detailed information regarding the Park and improvements for the surrounding area immediately adjacent to the Development Site. The NWS proposes to expand the current agreement with the city to build the Park, with city funding, as part of a larger construction project. This report includes a description of the Park design presented in the concept plan, a cost estimate for the Park, a project schedule and an implementation plan. The combined project on the two city blocks and improvements to the surrounding area is a unique opportunity for the NWS and the City of Miami Beach to combine resources to create a cultural center in the heart of the city. .~l'\\ \\ orld ~) lllpllOlI~ 2()(U-()(J~ (,Cil,V l'altl1l'I', I I I' ()clohcl 2(" 2004 Page 4 ('ity (enter Park Proposal New World Symphony 2.

III' Octohl'r 2h. 2()()4 Page 5 City Center Park Proposal New World Symphony CITY CENTER PARK A Cultural Park Gehry Partners presented a design for the project that extends beyond the specific site boundaries and addresses a larger vision for the heart of Miami Beach. At the center of the project is a public park, tentatively referred to here as City Center Park. It is bounded on the north by the Jackie Gleason Theater for Performing Arts, a historically significant existing cultural facility, and to its west, the proposed New World Symphony SoundSpace designed by architect Frank Gehry. A Park has been envisioned for this site for some time, and is a part of the current District Master Plan. City Center Park establishes itself as an important forecourt for the SoundSpace project and creates a celebratory view corridor from Washington Avenue along the east edge ofthe Park. What results is a strong sense of place and a unique synergistic opportunity for the city to collaborate with the New World Symphony to enrich the cultural life of Miami Beach. The entire project on both sides of Drexel Avenue will be unified by a cohesive landscape design and plaza design. An important feature of the New World Symphony performance facility is a large exterior video screen, which will allow broadcast images into the Park for performances, festivals and civic events. There is a synergy between the NWS project and the Park that will promote and encourage cultural and education activities in this rare and much needed public open space. See the Concept Plan and Use Diagram and model photographs in Section 3. Public Amenity and Unique Park Space This complex will provide a number of public amenities unique in the city. City Center Park will have an outdoor performance venue in close proximity to Lincoln Road and the rich urban street life of Miami Beach. The project accommodates 475 parking spaces, with an option to increase the garage to 644 spaces for visitors to the area. The Park includes a sculptural trellis that will provide shade as well as an attractive artistic feature of the Park's character. The Park will have a fountain as part of the amenities envisioned for the area. Landscaped Pedestrian Links City Center Park extends from Lincoln Road to the Convention Center and will create a vital link for pedestrians through the area. The design will also connect the patrons of TOP A to convenient parking at the west end of the site. The south edge of the Park currently has merchants. retail stores and restaurants along Lincoln Road. This new open space will encourage these merchants to open a second frontage opening off Lincoln Lane facing the Park. There is also a possibility that new uses for the retail f,-ontage on the Park will naturally develop over time to include cafes, restaurants and coffee shops. \(11 \\'orld ,,) 1I1pholl) ]O"..\IIIJ" (Jellrv Part nns. I I P ()"tohcr 26. 2004 Page 6 City Ccnter Park Proposal New World Symphony Strong Urban Design The larger proposed project creates a more dramatic urban gesture that is cohesive and deliberate. It reinforces important relationships with the communities on the Park perimeter. The Park is enhanced by the New World Symphony design as a center focus from Washington A venue and creates an open space link at the entry of two cultural buildings. The design of the NWS building is intended to attract pedestrians from Lincoln Road to the Park and the music events happening in SoundSpace. Traffic Improvements Drexel Avenue has been rerouted in this design to curve gently around the New World building. Although the street will remain open to daily traffic, there is the opportunity to close this street for special events. The concept design also proposes rerouting Lincoln Lane to exit on Washington Ave, as a right turn only. The design concept expands the sidewalks on the South side of the lane to encourage pedestrian traffic and retail use along the street. The current City Right of Way Program for the City Center Neighborhood includes upgrading the streetscape design along I ih Street; Pennsylvania A venue and Washington A venue to enhance this area. The designs for the Right of Way Program can be coordinated with the City Center Park design to create a unique character with landscaping and street lighting for the Park and perimeter streets. CITY CENTER PARK DESCRIPTION This section identifies in more detail the basic concepts for the design of the Park and assumptions used for the cost estimate prepared by project consultant, Donnell Consultants, Inc (DC I). Gehry Partners, with NWS, has proposed a comprehensive design plan for the area that extends beyond the scope of the site originally specified in the Development Agreement. For the purposes of this document. the greater area was divided into smaller project zones. Each zone has specific design goals and quality assumptions used in the cost estimate. See the Zone Diagram in Section 4 for a plan outlining the project zones. DCI has prepared a cost estimate for the proposed City Center Park as defined in Zone I. This zone includes the entire east lot of the expanded Development site. Drexel A venue. and landscaping associated with the Parking Garage, At the request of the City Manager, a cost estimate has also been prepared as Add Alternates for the city's consideration for an area greater than the expanded Development Site. The Add Alternates include Zone 2: the area adjacent to TOPA and Zone 3: upgrades to Lincoln Lane. The Add Alternates would also be developed and constructed by the New World Symphony project team. on behalf of the city. :\l'\\ \\odd SYil1plwll) ,-l(IIH-()O) (;,,111'\ 1'"nl1\I's.

Per the Development Agreement, the building footprint will not exceed 50,000 sf. The budget established for the project includes improvements to the site infrastructure outside the 50,000 sf footprint. This allowance includes landscaping, curbs, sidewalks, plaza entry areas, and service zones. The Gehry team will incorporate the sidewalk and plaza surface treatment in front ofthe building with the design for Drexel A venue and the Park plaza so that the finished construction is a cohesive design. Site Improvements within Zone A will be developed by New World Symphony using private funding. The New World Symphony's mission as an educational facility includes participation with and contribution to the cultural life of the Miami Beach community. It intends to provide programming and opportunities for music education and performances that allow a broad spectrum of events for public participation. One of the unique design features of the building will be a video screen on the primary east fayade facing the Park on Drexel Ave. NWS plans to broadcast musical programming and other performances in the Park and plaza on Drexel Ave. Programming for the Park will also feature other cultural organizations, both local and international including dance, film and other forms or musical performances. The video screen can also be utilized by the City of Miami Beach for other cultural and seasonal events planned for Miami Beach. The specific details of the arrangement between NWS and the City of Miami Beach regarding programming for exterior video screen have not been finalized at this time. The video screen shall not be used by NWS or any other party for the purposes of commercial advertisement other than promotion of events at NWS. Zone B: Public Parking Garage The public parking garage is located on the west end of the site along Pennsylvania A venue, This public parking structure will replace the surface parking currently on the Development Site. The garage is a separate building from the music venue and will be constructed by New World Symphony with funds provided by the City of Miami Beach. The preferred concept design accommodates 475 cars with a generous area for landscaping along the streets. An option for a larger parking garage accommodating 644 cars was also presented in the concept plan. However this option is less desirable due to the increased density on the city block. A smaller parking garage allows more space for landscaping and extending the park green space west to Pennsylvania Ave. unifying the aesthetic feel of the complex. Both garage options are set back from the Pennsylvania A venue and lib Street by 25 feet to accommodate a landscape buffer. .\l'\\ \\olld S:- JllpllOn) 20\U"(JtI~ (j,'lm !':Jrlnns. I I !'

As stated above, a key aspect of the Park design is the synergy created with the NWS building and the exterior screen for cultural performance opportunities in the Park. The Park design includes a large hardscaped public plaza along Drexel A venue facing the video screen. The design team for the New World Symphony project will utilize their theater expertise to develop sightlines that will accommodate view of on-screen presentations as well as live performances. As envisioned, the Park design will have a large sculptural trellis designed by Frank Gehry that will provide shade to the Park visitors. The design will have fixed benches and strategically placed lighting to illuminate architectural features and enhance safety. There will be an accommodation for a sound system for public announcements. However the costs for a sound system have not been included in the Park estimate at this time. Surrounding the paved hardscape portion of the Park is a grassy soft-landscaped area. The cost estimate has included an allowance for a modest water feature in the Park. There are adequate allowances in the budget for demolition, park lighting, electrical hook ups for a future sound system, and irrigation and drainage. It is important to note that currently there is an electrical vault utilized by Florida Power and Light on the Park site. The city has begun negotiations with FPL to remove the vault on the Development Site. However due to the recent hurricanes the meetings have been postponed. The costs associated with the vault have not been included in the cost projections, pending further information from the city. Zone 1.2: Drexel Avenue Realignment The Park design, as conceived. reroutes Drexel A venue to curve gently in front of the NWS building. The relationship between Drexel Avenue and the New World Symphony building entrance the will require study to integrate all the elements into a successful holistic design for both sides of the street. The design team will integrate the treatment of the street paving with the entry plaza for the NWS and the Park plaza, so that temporarily closing the street events creates a larger plaza for special events and festivals. The cost estimate assumes the realignment of the street will not require moving utilities below the street. The costs for the curb and sidewalk on the west side of Drexel Avenue are assumed to be part of the NWS project. The curb and Nc'\', \\'nrld ~)1llpllOn) 2{)O"~ -(J{J~ (jellr)' i>"nncr,.

The estimate includes allowances for street lighting relocation and drainage. Zone 1.3 Parking Garage Landscape The Zone B parking garage is set back from Pennsylvania A ve and I ih Street to allow a generous landscaped buffer from the building. This area, along with the landscape design for the NWS building, will be similar to the Park design to create a cohesive design across the two city blocks. The cost estimate for this zone includes irrigation, planting and some paving for sidewalks. ADJACENT SITE IMPROVEMENTS ZONE 2 THRU 7 Zone 2: Add Alternate Landscaped Entry Area Adjacent To TOP A Zone 2 is the landscaped area to the south and east ofthe Jackie Gleason Theater for Performing Arts (TOPA). This report has included an estimate of the costs associated with expanding the Park construction across I th street to include the area adjacent to the TOPA entry. The expansion of the Park is consistent with the design adopted by the District Master Plan. Urbanistically, the expanded Park concept will allow the NWS design team to develop stronger aesthetic and pedestrian links from the Civic Center to Lincoln Road and create a cohesive park setting within which the cultural facilities nestle. In essence, an expanded City Center Park, now including the TOPA plaza, operates as a forecourt to the performance venues. The program elements for Zone 2 have not yet been identified. The City has considered several schematic designs for a "Walk of Stars" in this vicinity; however plans to execute this design are currently on hold. Gehry Partners will collaborate with the city to develop a design program for this area in the schematic design phase. The cost estimate does not include an allowance for the construction of "Walk of Stars". and assumes that the City has already provided funding for it elsewhere. Further. because this zone is substantially landscaped. the cost estimate for the add alternate assumes a modest modification of approximately 40% ofthe area with new planting to match the Zone I landscaping. The budget provides allowances for the removal or relocation of some trees. new sod throughout and irrigation for the new planting. Zone 3: Add Alternate Lincoln Lane Improvements The concept design for the area has rerouted Lincoln Lane to exit onto Washington Avenue as a right turn only, This modification enables the Park to Nl.\\ \\odd \ymphull: 211lU-()(l5 (;l'llIY P"rlnu, II P (ktuhcr 2(1. 2004 Page 10 City Ccnter Park Proposal Ncw World Symphony gain area, and creates a more efficient traffic flow.

With the construction ofthe Park, the Lincoln Road merchants along Lincoln Lane facing the Park will have an opportunity to create a second frontage to take advantage of this new public amenity and increased pedestrian flow. Merchants facing the Park should be encouraged to update and beautify the north facades of the buildings, and perhaps create secondary entrances and openings onto the Park. Over time, there is also the opportunity for restaurants and cafes to open in these buildings and to take advantage of this prime location in close proximity to the cultural city center. To facilitate this future vision for Lincoln Lane, the design team proposes expanding the sidewalk to 10' wide on the south side of the street, and widening the street to accommodate increased traffic flow. The new sidewalk will extend from Washington to Pennsylvania Ave. Zone 3 is included in this report as another Add Alternate for the project. See the Zone Diagram in Section 3 for a plan location. The cost estimate for this area includes new sidewalks, and relocating the existing street lighting, and asphalt paving of the roadway. The estimate assumes that utilities below the street will not be relocated. The NWS team proposes to construct this portion of the project and coordinate the design of the streetscape with the Park design using City funding. Zone 5, 6, And 7: City Center Right Of Way Program Streetscape Improvements for Washington Avenue, lih Street, and Pennsylvania Avenue Bordering the Park. Upgrading the streetscape along the perimeter streets near the Park is a key element for creating a cohesive aesthetic character for this area. The streetscape improvements as envisioned by the design team would include, lighting, additional street trees, benches, and sidewalk surface treatment which coordinate with the overall park aesthetic design. Currently. 17'11 Street. portions of Washington A venue and Pennsylvania A venue are included in the City Center Neighborhood Right of Way (ROW) Program. This project includes improvements to street intl'astructure such as the sewer system and storm drain in addition to streetscape design. The AlE firm Chen and Associates was recently selected to design and construct the improvements for the City Center ROW Program The specific scope of work for the street improvements has not yet been determined, and concept design tor this area of the city has not yet begun with Chen and Associates. The construction timeline for this work roughly coincides with the NWS construction schedule and could ;\\..'\\ '\orld ~YlllphOlI) 2()o.~-uo-" (ichr, 1'''I1l1lTS.

The NWS design team intends to collaborate with the City Planning Department and Chen and Associates, to insure a cohesive integration of the streetscape design with the Park and landscaping in this area. Cost estimates for the streetscape design for these streets have not been included in the budget pending further discussions with the City Planning Department. Costs associated with upgrades to the curb lines, sidewalks and tree planting within the Right of Way have been excluded from the cost analysis for the Zone I Park and Adjacent Site Improvements for each of these streets. Zone 4: City Center Right of Way Program Expanded Scope Washington Avenue between Lincoln Road and 17th Street The infrastructure and streetscape improvements for the length of Washington A venue from Lincoln Road to I ih Street have not been included in the scope for the City Center ROW Program with Chen and Associates. This street has been excluded from all the development projects pending a decision from the city regarding the planned MDT A bus parking shown in the District Master Plan. This section of Washington A venue would logically be added to the scope of work for the City Center ROW Program. Gehry Partners will coordinate with the City and its design consultant in the design of this area as it defines the east edge of the Park. DESIGN PROCESS Frank Gehry and the Gehry Partners design team have recently started the schematic design phase for the New World Symphony building and the Parking Garage. The Park design described in this document, and the cost estimate is not based on a specific program developed with the City, or an actual design for the landscaping or architecture of City Center Park, Development of a schematic design for the Park, in collaboration with the city and the community are the next steps of the process for the realization of this city park. Gehry Partners intends to develop designs for the Park in concert with the design progress of the New World Symphony building, to achieve process efficiencies as well as to facilitate technical and design issues associated with the exterior video screen. The New World Symphony proposes a process where the team will develop the larger project as a cohesive complex at the heart orthe city center. It will utilize the consultants already working on the performance facility to coordinate the added scope of the Park. and adjacent areas. The Gehry Partners design team will collaborate with the City Planning Department, the AlE team for the street capital improvements, and community groups to develop a design that is sensitive to the end user and city budget constraints while creating a unique signature public park for Miami Beach. This proposal offers an implementation strategy for the Park that has been planned ft))' in this location in the city and is a part of the District Master Plan. 'v\\ \\ \lIlt!

As a city park, the long -term maintenance ofthe Park and its amenities will be a primary concern. The NWS design team will work with the City and Parks department to develop a Park design that is sensitive to low-maintenance issues and establish landscape and hardscape design appropriate to high pedestrian traffic and public use. It is important to note that the concept plans as described and depicted in this document do not represent the architectural design of building or the Park. The drawings and models represent conceptual approaches for how the project will relate to the urban context and accommodate the various end-user goals for NWS and the City of Miami Beach, DESIGN TEAM EXPERIENCE Gehry Partners has extensive experience working with a large design teams in collaborative efforts to create powerful public parks and urban spaces adjacent to cultural buildings designed by our firm. The most recent examples include the Millennium Park in Chicago and the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. These award winning projects are important examples of projects where private ventures joined forces with county and city planners for projects on publicly owned property that benefited the greater community and established an important new city center. PROJECT IMPLEMENT A nON The combined project on the two city blocks and improvements to the surrounding area is a unique opportunity for the NWS and the City of Miami Beach to combine resources to create a cultural center in the heart of the city. The overall project increases public amenities such as convenient parking and open park space. while strengthening the connection of public spaces with cultural venues. There is an opportunity for the NWS design team. with architect Frank Gehry. to create a cohesive design that connects two cultural venues with shared park frontage and strengthens the pedestrian flow from the civic center to the retail and restaurant life on Lincoln Road. This implementation plan of the Park will ensure a unified aesthetic design and create a design opportunity for the Gehry team to create a stronger architectural and urban solution to the many design needs for the area. The technical aspects of the NWS video screen element of the project and its relationship to the Park with sightlines. lighting and sound systems will be better achieved if it is designed by the theater specialist team Nt:i', \\ olld s) lnpl1oll) 20()_\-.(H)~ (il'llr:v P:lrtlll.'rS, II P {)clObl'r ~(,. :211114 Page 13 City Center Park Proposal New World Symphony already assembled for the NWS project Gehry Partners, with community and city involvement, has agreed to develop the schematic design of the Park during the schematic design phase for the NWS building, streamlining some costs associated with the design fees, Gehry Partners will collaborate with the landscape architect firm and/or a civil engineering firm chosen to complete the documents for Park construction, The New World Symphony has proposed adding the park design and construction to the scope oftheir contract as Developer with the City of Miami Beach, The specific vehicle for enabling the Park to be developed by the New World Symphony is an amendment to the current Development Agreement with the city, This document already includes provisions for the NWS to build a public parking garage with city funds at an established budget New World proposes a similar arrangement to the parking garage, where the City will pay NWS a sum to be established to complete the construction of the new Park adjacent to their new performance venue, A draft proposal of the amendment to the agreement is included in this report in Section 8, By amending the Development Agreement, the NWS team can streamline management and communication efforts for the coordination of several projects involving the City Planning departments. Consolidating and coordinating the design and construction ofthe Park with the related projects currently being managed by NWS, provide both cost and time saving benefits to the City and New World Symphony, A unified project will allow for more options for leveraging the project size to reduce construction costs by utilizing the larger site for phasing the projects. Minimizing the loss of public parking during construction can be achieved easier if one contractor controls the larger site. NWS management ofthe larger project will insure the Park is completed in a timely manner, streamlining the approval and selection process for all three construction projects, f\,l'\\ \\orld Symphony .?Ot!.\-(!(J) (;chl y l'<lrlm'!'s.

In the schematic phase of the project, the design team will collaborate with the City to establish the scope, and specific requirements to be included in the Park. This budget is a working tool to start to establish the Park scope and to reconcile it with available city funds for the project This estimate represents the capital costs for the project as described in this proposal. There are a number of items that are excluded from the cost estimate and are listed in an appendix to this report in Section 6, These exclusions include utility relocation, project management and legal fees, property surveys, soils reports and geotechnical studies to name a few, The estimated costs for the City Center Park, which includes the areas described above in Zone I, are as follows: I.

Because of the dependency of the relationship between City Center Park and the NWS building's video screen on the fa~ade facing the Park, it is appropriate that the Park and the building be completed at the same time. A key concern to the local merchants regarding this project is the loss of parking on the current site and minimizing the construction impact on the neighborhood. The design team is sensitive to this issue and is proposing a schedule that maintains parking in the area, and allows for the desired completion of the Park with the NWS building. To accomplish this goal, the parking structure has been isolated from the New World Symphony building. This differs from the Concept Design proposal, which had these two buildings joining. This allows the development and construction of the parking garage to be accelerated independently from the NWS building. Separating the buildings has the added cost benefit of simplifying the acoustic isolation issues critical for performance facilities. A schedule of the construction time lines is included as an appendix to this report in Section 7. The construction of the garage will take approximately fourteen months. The NWS project will require thirty-one months for construction and commissioning. The construction for these projects cannot begin prior to June 2007 as stipulated in the Development Agreement between NWS and the City. With a start date of 6/1/2007 both buildings on the west lot of the site could start construction, while the east lot remains open for public parking. Per the schedule, the garage could be complete and operational as a public parking lot by July of2008, fifteen months prior to the completion of the NWS building. Therefore, in July of2008, parking in the east lot could be relocated to the new garage, and construction could begin on the new Park, Lincoln Lane and Drexel Avenue. The entry at TOPA would also be completed in this time frame. The streetscape upgrades for the perimeters of the Park could be incorporated into the construction schedule for the City Center ROW Program to be complete by January of 2009. By September of 2009, all three projects would be complete and ready for the NWS 2009-20 I 0 season opening in October. The project schedule has a significant time and cost savings associated with consolidating the three projects. This schedule streamlines the process. and allows for a better architectural and urban project overall. 1\(,\\ \Vorld S) mphnny 20(H .(J()~ (;l'i1r\ Part IIns.

II I' OeJohn 2(,. 2()()4 Page 27 City Center Park Proposal New World Symphony GEHRY PARTNERS, LLP Gehry Partners, LLP is a full service firm with broad international experience in museum, theater, performance, academic, and commercial projects. Founded in 1962 and located in Los Angeles, California, Gehry Partners currently has a staff of over 135 people. Every project undertaken by Gehry Partners is designed personally and directly by Frank Gehry. All of the resources of the firm and the extensive experience of the firm's senior partners are available to assist in the design effort and to carry this effort forward through technical development and construction administration. At the heart of the firm's approach to design is a method in which the client is brought fully into the design process as a member of the design team, making the design a true collaboration between architect and client. The design process is based on extensive physical modeling at multiple scales, in which both the functional and formal aspects of a project are explored in detail. Very early in the process, actual building materials and large-scale mock-ups are employed to promote understanding of the design among all involved parties. Working simultaneously with the formal image at the urban scale and with materials and building systems at the detail level, every project undertaken by Gehry Partners evolves in response to the specific programmatic and budgetary goals defined by the client. The staff of Gehry Partners includes a large number of senior architects who have extensive experience in the technical development of building systems and construction documents and who are highly qualified in the management of complex construction projects. In addition, the firm relies on the use of CA TIA, a highly sophisticated 3-dimensional computer modeling program originally created for use by the aerospace industry, to thoroughly document designs and to rationalize the bidding, fabrication, and construction process. The work of Gehry Partners has been featured widely in national and international newspapers and magazines, and has been exhibited in major museums throughout the world. Recent and current projects include: the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in Bilbao, Spain; the DZ Bank Building, a mixed-use building adjacent to the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, Gennany; Der Neue Zollhof, an office complex in Dusseldorf, Germany; the Experience Music Project in Seattle, Washington; the Ohr-O'Keefe Museum in Biloxi, Mississippi; the Bard College Performing Arts Center in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York; the Peter B.

Mr. Gehry received his Bachelor of Architecture degree from the University of Southern California in 1954, and he studied City Planning at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design. In subsequent years, Mr. Gehry has built an architectural career that has spanned four decades and produced public and private buildings in America, Europe and Asia. In an article published in The New York Times in November, 1989, noted architecture critic Paul Goldberger wrote that Mr. Gehry's "buildings are powerful essays in primal geometric form and... materials, and from an aesthetic standpoint they are among the most profound and brilliant works of architecture of our time." His work has earned Mr. Gehry several of the most significant awards in the architectural field, including the Arnold W. Brunner Memorial Prize in Architecture, the Pritzker Prize, the Wolf Prize in Art (Architecture), the Praemium Imperiale Award, the Dorothy and Lillian Gish Award, the National Medal of Arts, the Friedrich Kiesler Prize, the American Institute of Architects Gold Medal, and the Royal Institute of British Architects Gold Medal.

U P (klohl'r 26. 2~ Page 34 City Center Park Proposal New World Symphony W AL T DISNEY CONCERT HALL Los Angeles, California Located on a historically and culturally prominent downtown site, the Walt Disney Concert Hall is the permanent home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. The Concert Hall is situated on historic Bunker Hill at the intersection of First Street and Grand A venue, adjacent to the existing Music Center of Los Angeles. The Concert Hall is located in the center of the site, which consists of one city block. The majority of the site is devoted to gardens, accessible not only from the Hall but from the adjacent streets. An entry plaza is located at the comer of First and Grand to relate the facility to the existing Music Center, and a secondary entry plaza is located at the comer of Second and Grand to provide primary access to the gardens. Unlike most concert halls, the building lobby is accessible from the street and it remains open during the day; large operable glass panels will provide maximum accessibility to various amenities including a gift shop, a restaurant and cafe, an underground parking garage, and a pre-concert performance space. The pre- concert performance space is used for performance-related lectures, educational programs, and other scheduled and impromptu performances throughout the day. The focus of the design is the 2,265-seat Concert Hall, whose interior and form are a direct expression of acoustical parameters, resulting in both visual and acoustic intimacy. Seating surrounds the orchestra platform. The wood walls and the sail-like wooden ceiling forms give one the impression of being within a great ship inside the walls of the hall. A pipe organ designed in conjunction with the interiors occupies a central position between the seating blocks at stage rear. Skylights and a large window at the rear of the Hall allows natural light to enhance daytime concerts. The exterior of the Concert Hall is clad in stainless steel panels. The building's orientation, combined with the curving and folding exterior walls present highly sculptural compositions as viewers move along Grand A venue and through the surrounding gardens and plazas. An extensive backstage technical area surrounds the Hall and opens onto a private garden for musicians. The Roy and Edna Disney 250 seat multi use blackbox theater for California Institute of the Arts (CaIArts) programs is included in the base of the building with direct street access from Hope & Second. This facility together with its separate lobby, art gallery and cafe is now CalArts major venue in the city of Los Angeles. A 2,500-car garage on six levels is located below the hall with access from three surrounding streets. Concert-goers arrive in the foyer from the garage by way of an escalator cascade. providing unique opportunities for art installations.

The Pavilion is a highly sculptural design element clad in stainless steel panels. The stage area is clad in Douglas Fir. The Pavilion is visible from surrounding city streets and is intended to act as a focal point for the new Millennium Park. The Pavilion features a series of portable risers that will accommodate an orchestra of up to 120 musicians, and a choral terrace that will accommodate a choir of up to 150 members. Back stage areas are shared with the adjacent Music and Dance Theater. Large glass doors allow the Pavilion to be used during winter months for public functions including banquets, receptions, and lectures, A decorative lighting system enhances the Pavilion with colored light washes and projections during evening performances. Seating for the audience is provided in two areas. The main seating area accornmodates up to 4,000 people in fixed seats and is located irnmediately adjacent to the Pavilion. Beyond the main seating area, a lawn area accommodates up to an additional 7,000 people in a more informal environment. Performance sound is reinforced and enhanced by speaker clusters located in front of the Pavilion. In addition, a distributed reinforcement and enhancement sound system is suspended from a trellis that spans the entire 600 foot length and 300 foot width of the lawn area. This sound system gives the audience a fuller sense of the onstage sound and controls the sound level in the surrounding neighborhood. The trellis, in the shape of a flattened dome, is constructed of curved steel pipes typically spaced 65 feet apart. The trellis is supported by cylindrical concrete pylons clad in stainless steel panels. The Pavilion is located atop a three level underground parking structure. A bus way and metro rail tracks which run adjacent to Grant Park pass beneath the Pavilion at the lowest level of the parking structure.

Columbus Drive, a multiple lane, high speed, grade separated thoroughfare, is a significant physical barrier between the Eastern and Western areas of Grant Park. The new pedestrian bridge creates a handicapped accessible path linking these two areas of the park. As pedestrians traverse the bridge, they gently rise above street level and the tree canopy, and experience wonderful views of the Music Pavilion, the park and the city as they cross Columbus Drive. The bridge presents a thin profile as it passes above Columbus Drive, while on either edge of Columbus Drive the sides of the bridge widen as they slope gently to the ground. Along the edge of the Music Pavilion & Great Lawn the sloped sides of the bridge form a berm that substantially lowers the level of road noise entering the seating and stage areas of the venue. The bridge is clad in brushed stainless steel panels similar to the cladding of the Music Pavilion. The Music Pavilion and the pedestrian bridge respond to one another sculpturally within the landscape of the park, allowing the bridge to function as a key link in the spatial sequence connecting the tight urban fabric of Chicago directly to the Lakefront.
