Reviving Connections

Location: Tucson, AZ - Scope: Infrastructure + Garage - Client: City of Tucson + Oasis Tucson

The pedestrian landscape around the revitalized 4th Street Underpass includes an inviting, 20' wide walkway lined with panels of local Tucsonans' portraits, two pedestrian bridges (with Design Build Collaborative), and a grand staircase with a fountain by Kevin Osborn. To spearhead the revitalization of the area, the City of Tucson built a 4 story parking garage on the parcel created by our revision of the underpass plans. The water-cut facade panels developed in collabortaion with local artist Daniel Martin Diaz make this utilitarian structure an urban highlight with a distinctive Tucsonian feel.
