dress plaza

Evansville Downtown Riverfront

Dress Plaza complex geometrics define the waterfront restructuring and are reflected in the curved retaining walls that edge banks of tiered seating below the flood protection levee wall.  The major  civic space is gounded in urban place-making principles to the last detail.

  Serpentine Seating at Dress Plaza Terrazzo bollards at Dress Plaza
 

Serpentine seating below the undulating drive.

Terrazzo bollards delineate the edge of the serpentine drive.  Their round shape allows flood debris to roll off them.

  Stadium Seating at Dress Plaza Spaced red beacons on Dress Plaza
 
Stadium seating provides a transition between the street-level Esplanade and Dress Plaza. River-view parking occurs along the curvilinear drive.  Spaced red beacons become torches that light both the Dress Plaza and Esplanade levels.
