Returning the near south to downtown Indianapolis : daylighting Pogue's Run : a plan for urban renewal

Abstract

This project is a plan for urban renewal in the Near South of Indianapolis. With the main catalyst being the daylight of Pogue's Run, this design looks to revitilize one of the most critical areas of downtown.

After identifying the problem, topics of literature significant to the Near South were investigated. These were urban renewal, daylighting waterways, sports stadiums, and current plans in Indianapolis today. From there, site inventory and analysis was conducted to develop initial concepts. One concept was then developed into a final master plan. Supporting diagrams, sections, plans, details, and perspectives were also produced to help show the design implementations in more detail.
