An email recently forwarded to Metro Jacksonville.QuoteA graduate level Architecture Urban Design Studio from Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), under the direction of Professor Arpad Daniel Ronaszegi, extends this invitation for you to view and discuss their ideas for redevelopment of the shipyards area.
This is the culmination of a semester of work by six teams of two (twelve students), with each team proposing a distinct solution. The preliminary reviews in Savannah last month promise interesting, stimulating and worthwhile presentations.
They will offer a gallery style exhibit of their work in Jacksonville, Florida on November 17 from 2:30 to 5:00 p.m. at the Lynnwood Roberts room in City Hall 117 West Duval Street. There will be a brief introduction to the project at 3:00 p.m.
Boards and models can be viewed during the holidays at the Ed Ball Building. Please drop by and discuss their plans with them this Wednesday afternoon.
Interesting.
i bet the design will be awesome, but knowing our leaders it will never happen

most studio design projects don't....which has nothing to do with our leaders
I am going to stop by.
The more design ideas our leaders see, the more likely they are to incorporate infrastructure elements that compliment a good urban design. They don't need to develop the property as a whole, just aid the private sector in doing it right, peice by peice.
Impressive collection of work. I think you all will like it.
lake.........I'm with you! I have heard from several people who have knowledge about this and they were impressed also! I don't look for the current administration to do much of anything, other than take care of their buddies! We, the people, will have to wait till the next Administration is voted in............unless the current administration takes it upon themselves to do a deal under the table for one of their good buddies! I would not put it pass them to try something like that...............hope I am wrong!
So when can we see it here?
We'll have several photos up in the morning.
I'll post my detailed thoughts in the morning when Lake posts the article... but I was shocked when one particulra group of two college-aged kids not associated with this area presented a plan as well thought out as it was.
The downtown dilemma is fascinatingly complicated in its magnificent simplicity.
WOW! What talent is out there. Somebody pinch me. 6 separate presentations. What I took away is that one team in their presentation talked about using containers for economic opportunity. Another team talked about using the existing Promised 680' Downtown Public Pier. Good stuff.
Almost 4 months ago. 17 days to the election. Will we be voting for Shipyards III?
Designs are fine. Then the ability to participate also needs to be considered especially as it relates to our St. Johns River our American Heritage River.

I was there. I went up to each team. I asked them. Can you tell me how you incorporated the Promised 680' Downtown Public Pier in your design? Were we suppose to? A response back from more than one team. But can you imagine how that would have effected the designs if they had been given that teeny bit of information.
Now go back and look at the introduction date of 2010-856.
Bativac, This is another reason why I'm voting Mike Hogan for Mayor
2011-560- Was at city hall today. This is still an active piece of legislation. Will be in Rules and Finance. $23,500,000 we are saying bye, bye to a ton of dough. We don't have any budget problems.
This was also discussed at the Aug.31, 2011 Waterways FIND subcommittee meeting on identifying canoe and kayak launches in Duval county.
2010-604- Shipyards/Landmar
Will have so much more on other threads.
The bottom line-The Public Trust is being totally crushed when it comes to Public Access and economic opportunity to our St. Johns River our American Heritage River a federal innitiative.
I was at this presentation and out of 6 teams some said the pier should be saved and used. One team recognized the use of a shipping container. How about some food trucks on the pier to be part of a small cluster?
Just wanted to bump this thread given the revelations at the 3/13/13 Jacksonville Waterways Commission meeting and the current discussions. The Boyer legal opinion on Catherine St. And the Jim Love, Kevin Kuzel Berkman floating dock compromise next to Shipyards III. And the upcoming 3/19/13 JCCI 2025 meeting.
