Brown Barbara Faga Todd Hill In recent years, a "call to anns" for a revimlized Indian Creek corridor has issued forth from individuals and groups with a stake in the future of Miami Beach: community residents. business owners, civic leaders, and residents of adjacent areas. In response to this vocal and broad- based call for action, the City of Miami Beach invited EDAW's 19th Annual Summer Student Program (SSP) to Miami Beach for an intensive, two-week work- shop in June of 1999. For members of the EDA W SSP team. the objectives of the workshop were to listen to the concerns and goals of the community's stakeholders. document their vision of a beautified corridor. and provide overall planning and design recommendations for a 2.5-mile-Iong corridor between 23rd and 67th Streets in Miami Beach. The workshop culminated in preparation of a master vision for the Indian Creek Greenway. which was presented in draft form to community members. As offered in this document in a refmed form, the Indian Creek Greenway Master Plan is intended to inspire a true public/private partnership in the community that will, in turn, result in the successful implementation of physical, natural, and ecological improvements to the Indian Creek. lQ -=- n..I.......~~- .' ..... I to~,". i ~. , ,.".. ..... ~~,J To address the challenges and opportunities presented by the Indian Creek Greenway project, EDAW assembled a diverse, multidisciplinary team. Through a competitive selection process, the SSP brought together 14 students from seven counrries and 13 universities. respresenting academic backgrounds in the areas oflandscape architec- ture, urban design, commu- nity and regional planning, environmental planning and biology. During the two-week workshop, project team members collaborated with the National Park Service's Indian Creek Greenway ProjectTeam(aneffort through their Rivers, Trails & Conservation Assistance Program). In addition, the team worked with the Indian Creek Advisory Committee, the Friends oflndian Creek. and the Indian Creek Asso- ciation.

The 21- acre park is a legacy to the vision and alliance of the City of Atlanta. the State of Georgia, the Atlanta Com- mittee for the Olympic Games, and the many civic organizations, special interest groups, and design- ers involved. Centennial Olympic Park is designed as a permaneut downtown revita- lization feature. Themati- cally, it imprints a landscape "quilt" into the fabric of city streets to "convey the cultural heritage of the American South and Atlanta's reputation as the 'City of Trees' ,'. The pattern of existing city streets is woven into the park plan, creating destination- bound .pedestrian prom- enades. Located at the eastern gateway to the Georgia World Congress Center/Georgia Dome complex, the park links convention facilitiesto the city's lively hotel and market district. Distinctive design features include the five-acre Centennial Plaza with its centerpiece Olympic Ring Fountain, a 1,200-seat natural amphitheater, a meandering multi-level water basin. eight 65-foot tal1lighttowers. and more than 500,000 engraved commemorative brick pavers. As prime consultant for the project, EDA W led a 15- firm team, getting the job done for Phase I in only 18 months from design start through construction completion. on schedule for Opening Ceremonies. During the Games, the park served as the city's central festival space, visited by an estimated 5.5 million people. EDAW's design team completed implementation of Phase II design of the permanent legacy park in 1998. The park includes more water features, planted areas and open spaces in addition to the existing plaza, fountain, reflecting pool and 500-seat amphitheater. Centennial Olympic Park is Georgia's first state park. lQ EDAW Downtown Jacksonville Master Plan Jacksonville, Florida Client: City of Jacksonville Contact: Jeannie Fewell, Planning Director City of Jacksonville 128 E.
