As I work the story of the revitalization of the astonishing Indianapolis riverfront for part 2 of How Indianapolis Built America, I came across this beautiful slide show representation of what this area looks like today It is what the Boston-based architectural firm, Sasaki Design Associates, created and delivered for this area. Spread over 9 square miles, it is this that I get to bike through every day!
Sasaki has transformed many hundreds of the spaces people occupy all over the world, From here in Indy to Denver, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Mexico, India, Peru, China, etc, etc..
Below is what the music stage behind the restored Indianapolis Water Co. building in White River State Park looked like at the turn of the last century:
