A plan designed using all of the design principles adopted by the board, done by the design team that helped craft them. A place that is easily accessible all hours of the day and a place where a signature park will promote the fullest enjoyment of the natural wonder and beauty of the Bay. Celebration Place is designed to be a true world class waterfront destination. The heart of the plan is Celebration Park, a 26 acre destination that integrates the North and South Embarcadero walkways. The public realm defines the character of this new Bayfront experience with entertainment, ecological and cultural attractions setting the tone for the place. The Baywalk, a lightweight, open mesh promenade lets pedestrians walk out over the waters of the bay and enjoy a special perspective of the ecology of the bay including marine life and swimming seals, birds, boat traffic and the gentle breezes and scent of the water. The Baywalk expresses the celebration of nature and ecology in a publicly friendly manner. This experience will literally extend Marina Park to Tuna Harbor, more than doubling access and public realm frontage along the bay. Marina Park and Ruocco Park will be combined at the Bayfront into a single comprehensive cultural park experience. Furthermore, Pacific Highway and Kettner Boulevard will end gloriously in the new park instead of the parking lots and gates that greet visitors today. Public art and historical information about the Bayfront will be integrated into a cultural trail that expands the cultural framework on the North Embarcadero today. Celebration Park is the setting for bayside restaurants and shops, and includes a lawn for casual and passive recreation. The climax of the park is the San Diego Spinnaker. This artful attraction will be part sculpture, part attraction and will become a photographic icon long into the future as part of the city’s skyline. The Spinnaker is located on the southern tip of the park, one of the important locations within Celebration Place. At 400 feet tall and defined by graceful curves, the public will be able to rise to the top of the attraction and enjoy long distance views of the city, the bay and the ocean. There will be nothing like it anywhere else. Everyone enjoying the bayfront will also have the choice to visit Celebration Harbor for entertainment and a unique maritime experience. We envision the transformation of Tuna Harbor over time from a series of fishing docks into a premiere entertainment basin surrounded by shops and restaurants and an active environment for boating. Imagine what the Inner Harbor means to Baltimore of what Darling Harbor means to Sydney and you have a picture of what Celebration Harbor will mean to San Diego. The harbor will attract visitors from around the world to enjoy the full majesty of the bay and the boating culture of San Diego. Celebration Harbor will be a boater-friendly place that accommodates transients, dinner cruises, harbor tours and a ferry stop. Access for boats of all sizes and types define the open marine culture of Celebration Harbor. The harbor will also be the front door address for a new performing arts hall, a boutique hotel and destination retail. GUARANTEE THE PUBLIC REALM. The vision for Celebration Place is all about public access to the Bayfront and activating the Bayfront to world class status. The guarantee is certain as this plan defines the Embarcadero, Celebration Park, the Baywalk and Celebration Harbor as accessible elements every hour of every day. A key planning principle of the vision is to ensure that the street grid integrates with the public realm at Celebration Place. To improve accessibility to a higher degree, the public realm plan incorporates the light rail stop for Seaport Village, a new city bus and shuttle stop on Harbor Drive at Celebration Harbor and a ferry landing into a comprehensive pedestrian network that incudes bike paths with a safe, high quality pedestrian environment that is free of automobile traffic. This transportation center will bring together port and city initiatives to enhance the public’s ability to enjoy the bay. The public realm and place making strategy is designed to provide many different views and viewpoints of the bay and to create value for real estate parcels in the plan. The open spaces within Celebration Park include linear paths, larger spaces with lawns for gathering and recreation, smaller intimate spaces for quiet reflection and repose, clear paths for pedestrians and bikers and special places to have interaction with the Bay. The enduring image of Celebration Place will be the parks, baywalk, harbor, public edges and greenery that are so appropriate to the overall feeling of San Diego. This is the truest expression of the Guarantee of the Public Realm. A LIGHT TOUCH TOWARD DEVELOPMENT. The buildings and architecture of Celebration Place are seen to be predominantly low rise in scale and generally set back from the water. At the harbor, entertainment buildings will be closer to the water, which is important to their experience and success. A boutique hotel will be a mid-rise structure- and the tallest building in the planand will blend in visually with the city skyline with taller towers on nearby blocks. The hotel and performance hall will share a parcel located at the foot of Pacific Highway and fronting on Celebration Harbor. Pacific Highway will be the access and Celebration Harbor will be the experience. The hotel and performance hall will share a large porte cochere and common lobby that will overlook the harbor and the bay with Point Loma seen in the distance. The hotel hosts 500 keys in 25 stories with ballrooms in the podium and retail and restaurants lining the harbor and Bayfront. The performance hall is perched over the podium with the pre-function lobby and garden on the hotel podium roof with views of the bay. Patrons will rise one more level to the performance hall and will enjoy a wonderful spectacle. The stage is situated along the Bayfront, backdropped by a large glass wall. The audience will enjoy performances with views of the harbor in the foreground, the bay, sunsets, boats and Point Loma in the background. Parking is below grade and never visible. Lastly, the performance hall is suspended over the Embarcadero to provide a dramatic moment as pedestrians pass by every day and night. The retail plan reinforces the public realm plan. The retail elements are continuously integrated throughout Celebration Park. Some retail is on the green park and connected closely to the Police Headquarters. Some retail is located within the base of the hotel and along the Embarcadero at the Harbor. Some retail wraps around Celebration Harbor and defines the boating basin as an important place. These three opportunities are integrated in a continuous plan but offer different shopping, retail and entertainment experiences for visitors. These buildings will be generally two stories in height with outdoor seating and decks on the upper level to provide more views of the bay. The strategy for parking is to build one large structure below grade with no visible parking for the project. This garage will house 1,400 cars. In combination with shared parking from Manchester Pacific Gateway, the Fish Market site, utilization of light rail, bus users and hotel users on and off site who will walk here, this will meet the demand of the project. In Summary, the project proposes a total of 718,000 square feet of development and 650,000 square feet of parking. The majority of the land is used for public access and the public realm, parks, walks, harbors and paths that will make Celebration Place all about honoring the water. DESIGN CONCEPT Public Private Celebration Place : Using the land to the public’s benefit In simple terms, the land is planned for one of two intentions; first is land used for the public realm and second is land used for private development. This strategy will “Guarantee the Public Realm”. Private development is defined by clear parcels and there is no blurring the distinction between what is public and what is private. This project is composed of 44 acres of land today, broken into various leaseholds and approximately 15 acres of public realm interspersed but not linked. The Vision for Celebration Place is based on an integrated public realm plan consisting of 26 acres of public realm, adding 11 acres of new high quality space to the Bayfront. This plan sets aside 60% of the land for public access, public parks and public streets, a commitment that exceeds normal standards. Conversely there are 21.92 acres of leasehold land for development today, largely dominated by surface parking lots and buildings scattered throughout. Celebration Place proposes 18 acres of land for development, with parcels that reinforce the public realm experience of Bus Light Rail Ferry Priority One : Uncompromised Public Access to the Bayfront Public Access goes well beyond the ability to “get there”. At Celebration Place it means the full bandwidth of experiencing the Bay. The plan starts by correcting the street grid where important streets like Kettner and Pacific Highway ended in parking lots. In the future these streets will connect, allow cars to park below grade out of sight and out of competition with pedestrians. The pedestrians along these streets will enjoy a simple and elegant path to the water along wide sidewalks, through parks and along the Embarcadero. Public access starts with creating great walks and there will be many in this plan. Access also considers public transportation, and the public realm and pedestrian network will engage the Seaport Village Light Rail Station with clear paths to the water. The city’s bus and shuttle system will have a friendly stop at the foot of Harbor Drive in the heart of the waterfront. A ferry landing is a key part of the plan as are transient boat slips. Access is expanded to include cars, buses, rail, boaters, bikers and pedestrians coming from nearby neighborhoods or hotels by foot or taxi. Importantly most of these methods are free or little charge, providing equal access across all spectrums of visitors. This site will operate like a mini multi-modal transit center, a place where many forms of transportation intersect. The City’s Front Door : A Signature Park on the Bay San Diego has long searched for it’s waterfront identity. Many cities have shaped their identity in the waterfront not with buildings and aggressive forms, but parks. Battery Park in New York, Grant Park in Chicago, The Emerald Necklace in Boston, Museum Park in Miami, Golden Gate Park in San Francisco are all cities that have invested in parks on their waterfronts to reap large cultural and economic returns on those investments. The next great American waterfront park will be at Celebration Place where over a mile of new waterfront walkways and parklands will be built. Views Baywalk Ecology Celebration Harbor Transients Create a Water Plan : It all starts with the water Waterfronts start with the water and Celebration Place has many elements in and about the water that make this place exciting. Tuna Harbor will transform into an entertainment harbor and the water will be a place for transient boats, dinner cruises, harbor tour boats and a ferry landing. This is a place where people who don’t own boats can get on a boat and enjoy the bat from a different perspective. The Baywalk is about interaction with the bay and the ecology, sea life and wildlife that inhabits the bay. Along the park edge will be a place designed to frame and create as many different views of the water as possible including a wonderful vantage 400 feet above the bay atop the San Diego Spinnaker. Celebration Harbor Baywalk Celebration Park Three Parts of Celebration Park : Something for Everyone Marina Park today is hard to get to and underutilized. Celebration Park will change all of that. The new park will have over a mile of frontage along the full length of the project site and be accessible from multiple paths with ease. The park’s design features three environments, each addresses different aspects of a Bayfront experience. Celebration Harbor will be a lively place of entertainment, food and retail shops with boats constantly moving about the harbor basin. The Baywalk is a quiet and unique feature where pedestrians can literally walk out over the water and engage with the bay in a completely new way. Celebration Park is an enlargement and redesign of Marina Park that will provide views, culture and an iconic attraction. We expect this wonderful park composition to attract millions of new visitors and add to the enjoyment of residents many times over. Celebration Harbor : A Big Transformation Over time Tuna Harbor will become a new Maritime and Entertainment center for the Embarcadero and a key element at Celebration Place. This is a place where the tuna fleet resides today and will remain in the early days. The Harbor will develop in three steps. In the first phase new retail will wrap the harbor and the tuna fleet will remain in place. In the second phase the tuna fleet will consolidate and new commercial slips and docks will share the water. In the third phase the tuna fleet will relocate and the basin will complete the water plan. The Baywalk : An Interactive Eco-Experience The Baywalk extends the park and the city out onto the bay with a fine mesh floor that lets the sun penetrate and pedestrians to feel and see the water below their feet. This will be a never before experience for everyone, a chance to get closer to the seals, see the bay ecology close up and to be surrounded by the smells and sounds of the Bay. A Safe Place for Pedestrians : Integrated with Downtown Celebration Place prioritizes people over cars. When cars arrive they will immediately descend into below grade parking and be taken from sight and from conflict with pedestrians. The parks and paths in our vision reinforce the desire to enjoy the bay, the need to access the bayfront simply and the pleasure of bringing family and friends to the water. 4 6 7 8 7 1 7 7 5 7 Bayfront Attractions : Having Fun at Celebration Park 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

Much care has been taken to carefully integrate the buildings and the open spaces. This is a place where the parks, people and public realm will dominate the environment, not large, shiny, flamboyant buildings. The buildings at Celebration Place are designed to reinforce and enhance the very public experience of enjoying the bay. 1. Boutique Hotel 500 Rooms 2. Performing Arts 2,000 seats 3. Spinnaker 4.

SHARED PARKING AT MANCHESTER PACIFIC GATEWAY 1,400 cars 200 cars 1,000 cars Parking Strategy : Autos need to be accommodated but not dominate Parking demand will be met in a number of ways. It is important to understand that demand is dynamic, not static and changes from weekday to weeknight to weekend scenarios. That is the underpinning of a shared parking strategy. The use of public transit also reduces demand and leads to a more sustainable development. And there will be many visitors in nearby hotels and other locations who are already parked there and will walk here. Thus our emphasis on transit and a strong pedestrian network that links to the larger area. This team is also developing the Manchester Pacific Gateway that has a large parking inventory available during non-office hours. We don’t want to overbuild parking, nor do we want to underbuild it either. The nucleus of our strategy is a 14 acre underground garage on site that will accommodate 1400 cars, cars that will arrive and immediately disappear underground. The surface lot at the Fish Market will remain and continue to serve them. For many times of the week this will suffice but there are times when more is needed. Overflow sharing is an important relationship within the Manchester vision, that Celebration Place and Manchester Pacific Gateway work together using the synergy to meet different needs. Celebration Place will be at the front of a larger sustainability message to promote transit and the plan will connect directly to the Seaport Village light rail station. Over time we see light rail users to be as proficient coming to the Bayfront as they are today going to Padres games at Petco. This strategy will provide public parking beyond the demand of this project. Engineering and the Environment : Practical Concerns Sea level rise is a concern for all future waterfronts. This site is exposed to forces that need to be addressed and pose wonderful design opportunities. In addition there are utility relocations and improvements that can be considered within the same design parameters. The common challenge is how to measure a defense and add to the quality of the public realm, resulting in a sustainable, safe and imaginative waterfront environment. With underground parking at the water, the new grade of Celebration Place will be higher than today, and high enough to protect against sea level rise and storm surges in the future. The opportunity is to create an “Upper Embarcadero”, 3-4 feet above what’s there today and introduce a series of walls, berms, ramps and stairs that will add delight to the Embarcadero experience. At the same time, new utility easements can share this space leading to a more efficient and sustainable approach to technology, energy and sea level rise at Celebration Place. The Retail Plan : Allow for many Choices Celebration Place will weave together the existing Police Headquarters and The Fish Market Restaurant with new shops and entertainment to create a continuous experience. The retail plan has three different opportunities. First is around the harbor, where entertainment and food and beverage will prevail. The attraction of the boating activity will expand the marketplace and nighttime will be great here too. The Fish Market is integrated into this part of the plan. The second opportunity is the base of the hotel fronting on the Embarcadero and the harbor. Different restaurants and shopping experiences will be available here at the center of the plan. The third opportunity id retail on the park, where shops and restaurants will have open doors in the great California tradition. The Police Headquarters is integrated into this group and we envision a series of linked courtyards to further expand the park experience. The Embarcadero : Connects it all Together The Embarcadero will remain as the unifying ingredient through Celebration Place and connects to the North and South Embarcadero walks. The Embarcadero is an important place making device serving public access to every Bayfront attraction and access to all of the retail and shopping on the Bayfront. Celebration Fish Market : A Weekly Event One of the longstanding traditions at the Embarcadero is a fish market and that tradition will continue at Celebration Place. A weekly market will attract locals and visitors to the catch of the week. The presence of the tuna fleet will be felt in the harbor for many years to come. San Diego Spinnaker : An Iconic Attraction The Spinnaker is part art, part attraction and part marquee for Celebration Place. No ordinary element would do here and this is something special and unique to San Diego. The form celebrates the long time sailing culture of the bay. The location will activate the park and more importantly place the Spinnaker in a wonderful place on the city skyline. This attraction is not only to look at but can also be ridden in state of the arts capsules that rise 400 feet to show views of the bay and at the same time explain the history of maritime commerce and navigation and what that has meant to the development of San Diego as a major America city. San Diego Spinnaker : An Iconic Attraction Blue Commerce : Maritime Business Opportunities San Diego is rich with start-up Blue Tech companies and heritage of Maritime Commerce. Both of these interests are important to the culture of Celebration Place. A Maritime Heritage Museum would be located within the new development of Celebration Harbor. Office space for Blue Tech companies are also housed above the retail on the park. Both opportunities allow existing and emerging enterprises to be a strong part of this new waterfront. Celebration Hotel : 500 Rooms at a Boutique Scale This hotel will be a new addition to San Diego’s inventory of hotels. This hotel is different because it will cater to the bayfront visitor not just the conventioneer. The theme of the hotel will be about the history of San Diego, the special role this very site has played over the years and what it will mean to the future. The hotel is modest in scope and scale, keeping with the larger idea that this is to be a great public place first. The hotel is sited on the harbor and also at an important place where the tower can best address views of the bay. And the hotel is integrated closely with the overall retail plan and shares a common lobby with the Performing Arts Hall. Performing Arts Hall : A Special Blend Celebration Hall is seen as one of the most special rooms in the city. The site for the Hall is connected to the hotel and perched over the Embarcadero and the Harbor. Guests will arrive at a porte cochere and rise to a second level pre-function hall that overlooks the bay and the harbor. After cocktails the patrons will rise again into the hall, a simple rectangular volume with a focused perspective on the stage which set in front of a large window framing a view of the Harbor, the Bay and Point Loma. This will be a flexible space that can seat up to 2000 or adjusted for smaller events. When needed for theater the window over the Bay can be blacked out and the room becomes a more traditional theatrical space. This Hall is meant to be one of the photo icons of Celebration Place both the view from inside the Hall Performing Arts Hall : A Special Blend RUNNING HEADER GOES HERE | 54 PRELIMINARY MARKETING PLAN FOUR PRELIMINARY MARKETING PLAN | 55 PRELIMINARY MARKETING PLAN We are very excited to develop a master plan that has a combination of destination elements with the Hotel, Retail, Restaurants, Parking but also the PERFORMING ARTS, SPINNAKER ATTRACTION, MUSEUMS and Public REALM with open space, parks and water elements. We have individual elements that are both anchor and urban fabric but most importuning are a composition designed to be additive for the benefit of both the PUBLIC Realm and Commercial elements that will be Visitor Serving designed for the public at large with the downtown community and regional residents. We will target the composition to bring in families, business and visitors to create a waterfront destination unique to the San Diego Bay. 1. Hotel: the 500 key CELEBRATION Hotel will be a boutique brand with a combination of waterfront character and amenities including spa, health club, meeting rooms, restaurants and retail that will accommodate visitors, business and convention center demand. The MFG successful experience in programming, designing and operating San Diego Bay hotels is unparalleled meeting the needs and demands of our downtown. The existing waterfront hotel REV PAR and financial success continue to reinforce the demand for additional hotels in the marketplace especially best in location and hotel program that the CELEBRATION Hotel will achieve. Also, being in a vibrant active mixed use Master Plan with PERFORMING ARTS, Retail/Restaurants, SPINNAKER Attraction, Marina and other visitor enhancing experiences further positions the 500 room hotel to meet or exceed projected revenue that we have outlined in the project economics section. We would engage HVS or PKF as we move forward. 2. Performing Arts Center (PAC): the 2,000 seat Performing Arts center will provide a venue for numerous Civic events, live theatre, live music, Opera, and concerts over the course of the year. We have discussed the PAC with both the San Diego OPERA and San Diego Theatre to program events in the Arts Center. We have also retained David Redfearn to identify and market an annual concert series to bring in live entertainment with a world class venue and location. The Performing Arts Center will also partner with cultural, civic and non-profits to maximize the annual use of the facility. The Performing arts will also market to the Hospitality and Convention Center for hosting special events and plenary sessions. The PA is expected to bring activity and the pubic to the waterfront and be a synergistic element of making the Retail, Restaurants and Attractions successful which contributes to the Gross revenues and Port revenues for the CELEBRATION Development. 3. SPINNAKER: the Spinnaker will be a world class design that will have a symbolic image of a giant sail that will be both public art and an attraction for the public. The Ride will be a passive experience of slowly rising 400 feet to the top of the sail in an enclosed capsule being able to have groups and a family enjoy the tremendous vistas of our downtown, San Diego Bay, Pacific Ocean, Coronado and Point Loma! As you enter into the SPINNAKER attraction you will go through a waterfront museum with San Diego Bay ecology and Aquarium designed for tourists, families and kids. Our research around the world is that this type of attraction including the museum will serve as one of the project ANCHORS and drive the public to the Park both activating the park day and night along with providing business for the retail and restaurants in the CELEBRATION PLACE master plan. PRELIMINARY MARKETING PLAN We are working with Howard Samueis Inc. & Merlin Entertainment Group for the development and operations of the SPINNAKER attraction. MERLIN ENTERTAINMENTS is the leading name in location-based, family entertainment. Europe’s Number 1 and the World’s second largest visitor attraction operator who has over 100 attractions including the LONDON EYE. 4. RETAIL and RESTAURANTS. Cushman Wakefield Retail division is excited about the repositioning of the existing dated merchandising plan for the leasehold. With the various public elements of the master plan and the SPINNAKER, PERFORMING ARTS, MARINA and WATER FEATURES that will serve as anchors attracting significant people throughout the year the retail and water front restaurants will be extremely successful. HKS design and understanding of integrating the R & R into these mixed use master plans in other waterfront developments around the world will add to the overall excitement and success of the project. 5. BLUE TECH and COMMERCE: the strategically placed Blue Tech and Commerce will be designed to attract emerging San Diego Bay research and startups along with accommodating fishing related commerce as well. We have already discussed the idea with the TUNA and FISHING Community and they would also like to add a San Diego BAY Fishing museum partnering with the San Diego Historical Society and KPBS. CUSHMAN Wakefield is excited to market this component of the Master Plan. 6. FISH MARKET: embrace the success of the existing weekly fish market and expand it to accommodate other fresh produce and locally grown food that the downtown residents have been requesting for many years. 7. Marina: working with the Fishing community, we plan on developing a two phase master plan for the Marina and expanded dockage. Already meeting with representative of the TUNA and FISHING that are currently using and have dockage at the TUNA HARBOR. In our meeting along with visual examples of the damage the existing Marina is experiencing due to ongoing wake | 56 action coming into the Marina under the Plank way access to the slips, the Phase I scope should be aimed at making the deferred maintenance and improvements to preserve and keep the existing fishing fleet viable. We are proposing additional slippage and wharfage tie ups north of the Fish Market along the existing sea wall. Phase II would occur with a solution worked out with the Fishing Community, SDUPD and CCCC. Having developed and operated the MARRIOTT Marina and researching the existing pent up demand and costs from the MARRIOTT we are confident that our PHASE II Development Plan will be an exciting next step to redevelop the Marina into an URBAN waterfront, active, vibrant and 24 hour in activity.

The hotel features elegantly appointed guest accommodations, restaurants, and lounges with exceptional views of the magnificent San Diego bay. The Hyatt sold for the largest amount of $570 million. In 1983, Papa Doug Manchester deeded back his leasehold interest in approximately 12 acres of land to the Port of San Diego, which enabled the city of San Diego to begin construction and ultimately complete the development of phase one of today’s remarkable San Diego Convention Center, which opened in 1990. The project was so successful, that phase two doubled its size in 1999. Within the 29-acre complex lies the magnificent Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego hotel, which is the largest waterfront hotel on the West Coast, and the second largest of more than 627 Hyatt hotels and resorts worldwide. The hotel was built in two phases: PHASE 1: The 700,000 square foot, 875-room harbor tower, is 40 stories tall and was completed in 1992. PHASE 2: Added 790,000 square feet and a 750-room seaport tower to the existing 875 rooms. The 1,625 room property allowed for great advances in the San Diego convention and tourism industries. The adjourning Seaport Tower, is located on 3.29 acres adjacent to Seaport Village and west of the existing hotel. The project was financed with a limited income verification loan of $230 million plus equity.

The three-story expansion consisted of approximately 494,205 square feet of new public and nonpublic areas, providing ten additional contact aircraft gates, a 15,000 square foot atrium food court area, large security screening check point capable of accommodating new developments in security technology, and an inline baggage screening matrix that accommodates both the new and existing terminal baggage system. The new terminal also included passenger circulation, airline check-in/ticket lobby, waiting areas, seating areas, public art, restrooms, office space, special technology systems, and other related service/support areas. 30 acres of new jet parking and taxiway support the terminal expansion and allow jets parked overnight to reach their gates in the morning without crossing the runway. The new project was built in the middle of the busiest single runway airport in the country on a tightly constrained site. The new construction could not interfere with the existing Airport operations. Extensive planning was required to allow the new terminal framing to tie directly into 900 linear feet of the existing terminal exterior wall and roof during the rainy season. Months later, the exterior wall was completely removed without disruption to operations. The project was the first airport in the country to achieve LEED Platinum Certification.

PDC worked on the project with Terramar Retail Centers, who obtained the rights to lease the land from the Port of San Diego, redevelop the site, and operate the facilities for a 40-year renewable term. The project involved rehabilitation of the historic San Diego Police Headquarters (built in 1939) into a vibrant dining, shopping, and entertainment destination.

Since its first establishment in Oslo, Norway, the company has grown to include several international studios. In 2004, Snøhetta established a new permanent studio, located in New York. Snøhetta is now fully registered to operate as a professional architectural company in New York and the United States, as well as Canada, Norway, and France. Design Methodology Snøhetta values human interaction. All of their work strives to enhance the sense of place, identity and relationship to others and the physical spaces they inhabit, whether natural or human-made. A dialogue always exists between what they create and the inherent character and conditions of a site or social identity. They have designed and built libraries, theaters, museums, airport terminals, doll houses, birds’ nests, beehives, currency and brand identities all with equal care and consideration for the results as they will exist in time. Integration of Landscape and Architecture A definitive relationship between landscape and architecture is a driving force in all of their work. The disciplines of landscape and architecture should be worked together without divisions from the earliest stages of design. This commitment has few parallels within the industry. The quality and strength of identity provoked by their designs is achieved by incorporating targeted research, leveraging what are often challenges as opportunities, and factoring the social and political environment into the creative process. Projects truly of place can foster meaningful and often surprising interactions, creating something simultaneously new and timeless. They are an established full-service design for Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Interiors, and Graphic Design in the United States and internationally. They are the Design and Executive Architects for several projects in the United States, most PROPOSER’S RELEVANT EXPERIENCE notably the Times Square Reconstruction, the new San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the September 11th National Museum Pavilion. They often collaborate with local partners in order to ensure that the project is best served with local knowledge and creative insight. Who they are and what they do are inextricably linked. From the beginning, their practice has been defined by its open and inclusive methods. In a counter-intuitive approach, they consider how much the work can give back to us as opposed to how much they give to it. Their work has been characterized as both socially potent and sculpturally memorable. What they create is often more readily recognized than their name. Their focus is not on authorship but on specific design conditions. Materials and elements are few and often express a dialogue between more natural and managed characteristics. Collaboration is at the core of their culture and they have a track-record of working seamlessly with local architect partners as well as integrating technical information from EGGUM TOURIST ROUTE. LOFOTEN, NORWAY | 106 their consultants. Through their work on large high profile projects, their design leaders are adept at negotiating multi-headed client bodies and fielding the often conflicting interests of a wide range of stakeholders. Snøhetta thrives from rich collaborations with large consultant teams and client groups alike, and excels at the art of careful consensus building through multiple workshops, charettes, agency review committees and other working venues. Client, user and internal office workshops drive their design process and can often produce the most exciting, useful and fresh takes on a problem, giving way to a built project that can respond in kind. Their team has expertise not only in developing programs for new facilities and public spaces based on needs but also on complex projects involving existing spaces and additions that must also consider the existing “supply” of spaces and opportunities. Facilitating a programming process that balances the two, gets broad input, that looks outside their industry for best practices, and that integrates cost analysis is their hallmark. PROPOSER’S RELEVANT EXPERIENCE Willamette Falls Riverwalk LOCATION: Oregon City, Oregon SIZE: Approximately 1/2 mile long SERVICES PROVIDED Located at the end of Main Street in Oregon City, the Willamette Falls is the second largest waterfall in the United States, and sits next the industrial site of the Blue Heron Paper Mill, which was shuttered in a bankruptcy in 2011. The project aims to create a Riverwalk that connects people to the falls as well as a Willamette Falls Downtown District with spaces for housing, employers and recreation. When completed, the halfmile long Riverwalk will give the public access to Willamette Falls for the first time in over 100 years. The design team’s approach highlights the falls and the complex material layers of the site, serving as a portal to the Northwest’s collective history. The formerly industrial site tells the story of workers and industrialists who ground flour, drove timber, spun wool, milled paper, and generated electricity at this location. The physical strata of the site tells the story of deep geology, dynamic hydrology, and vibrant ecology, together forming the spirit of place. The Riverwalk design is informed by a desire to frame and enhance tactile experiences. Architecture - Snøhetta Landscape - Snøhetta | 107 PROPOSER’S RELEVANT EXPERIENCE Golden State Warriors Sports and Entertainment Complex & Waterfront Park, Piers 30-32 In 2012, when the Golden State Warriors were planning a new arena on Piers 30–32 on the San Francisco waterfront, near the Bay Bridge, Snøhetta worked as the architect and landscape architect for the redevelopment. Along with the arena, retail and 8 acres of terraced plazas will also be planned on the site. Pedestrians approach the arena from a large plaza along the bay on the southwest edge of the rebuilt piers. Terraced steps and ramps rise to a second plaza inside the site, with shops on the west and the arena concourse on the east. There is a strong interest in connections to the city and Bay area. Piers 30-32 will become a sculpted, multi-tiered environment focused on the Bay Bridge, with an ascending set of plazas designed as a procession of spaces designed to draw the visitor in. If followed to the water’s edge, one will find an active public space for water activities such as kayak docks and a fireboat landing. The diagonal procession of plazas adds variety to a huge rectangular site that will remain almost entirely free of shadows. Just north of the arena sits a large landscaped area 45 feet above the bay with impressive views of the Bay Bridge and provides a gathering place overlooking the waterfront. | LOCATION: San Francisco, California SERVICES PROVIDED Architecture - Snøhetta Landscape - Snøhetta Interior - Snøhetta 108 PROPOSER’S RELEVANT EXPERIENCE Karl Johans Gate LOCATION: Oslo, Norway SIZE: 10,000 square meters SERVICES PROVIDED Karl Johans is Oslo’s main boulevard leading from the Central Station through the central shopping district, and up to the Royal Palace. Snøhetta re-designed the historic streetscape to create more engaging public and green spaces for pedestrians, and to improve water management and the streetscape’s pavement. The design focused on enhancing the dramatic perspective of the new Karl Johans Gate by reinforcing the strong middle axis. The pavement on the south side was re-finished to create a symmetrical street profile. During the day, the curbs and shadow further enforce this perspective. All vertical elements placed on the pavement, like light- and flagpoles, are also defined by these lines.At night, the perspective is highlighted through the rhythm of the streetlight poles. More than 50 custom-made details and elements have been designed for this project. The large scale of the details reflects the importance of this project. The rainwater runoff from the Parliament and the Palace meet at the lowest point on Karl Johans Gate, and is then transported by drain elements designed as infrastructural sculptures which lead the water to the underground river ‘Bislettbekken’.By expanding the width of the street side pedestrian areas, they now appear as proud promenades leading to the Castle, home to outdoor restaurants and cafés on both sides. A number of large lime trees have been planted to complete the row of existing trees, creating a strong lush green facade. Landscape - Snøhetta | 109 PROPOSER’S RELEVANT EXPERIENCE Museo de Ciencias Ambientales LOCATION: Guadalajara, Mexico SIZE: 150694 ft² / 14,000 m² SERVICES PROVIDED The new Museum of Environmental Sciences in Guadalajara, Mexico will be part of the University of Guadalajara (CCU), a cultural district adjacent to the main campus and planned wilderness preserves of the Barranca ravine and is in Mexico’s second most-populous city. Within the CCU’s cultural master plan, the Museum carefully bridges over the central promenade that joins the new library and auditorium buildings. The design integrates the physical and social conditions that frame it. The forms and spaces were designed as a balance between what is perceived as untamed and domesticated. The Museum’s architecture and interiors are punctuated by large courtyards and gardens, allowing natural light and fresh air to penetrate down into the Museum’s lower floors. These courtyards are linked together creating a free and accessible public passage directly through the building for visitors to CCU campus, and engaging a variety of audiences on a daily basis – beyond the paying visitors to the museum. The courtyards are unusually shaped, carved in soft, eroded forms bringing together the traditional methods of Spanish colonial planning with the natural phenomena found in the sunken pools and ravines of Jalisco. This unique hybrid of cultural and natural landscapes allows for a new understanding in Mexican architecture. The roof of the building is accessible to the public, with a café and gardens,to relax and take shade in. The new center is at once a magnet for social gatherings of various sizes as well as a backdrop for the buildings that surround it.

Bellingham Marine built the 544 slip marina in a single phase in 1987 under the prime contractor, Turner Construction. The marina opened in 1988. Like most marina projects, Sunroad Marina presented a unique environmental challenge. The site is home to the Least Tern, a protected waterfowl. As a result of a scheduled pile driving closure in the area, construction and installation tasks were re-sequenced to avoid costly delays during the bird’s nesting period. To make the pile driving window, Manson Construction predrove the marina’s 400 pile. Once the pile was driven, Bellingham Marine installed the floats. Due to the project teams’ extra care and attention to detail, this beautiful marina was completed on schedule. Almost thirty years later, Sunroad Marina looks like it did the day it was built. The pictures displayed here were taken at the marina in 2007.
