Abstract
This thesis is a exercise in a design proposal on the levee of the Mississippi spanned by a 1950's steel bridge in a historic St. Louis district known as Laclede's Landing. My intentions are to introduce a connection between the river and the city that will provide access to the water's edge to create a linear park or esplanade alongside Wharf Street that parallels the river; to create a gateway at the Martin Luther King bridge into the Landing at Wharf Street to provide a strong edge of the Landing; and development of a program for a building on the water's edge. With these intentions the study for the design proposal proceeds from the analysis of the site to the development of the program. From this, a design proposal is made.
