Site Context
basis intentSan Francisco is a metropolitan city that maintains a cultural and historical richness that is vital to the prosperity of california. The city has an esti-mated population of over 800,000 people living in less than 50 square miles. due to the city’s grow-ing population and limited open space, city planners seek to accommodate the need for open space within a dense urban environment. much of the developed city has been tagged as historical thereby crippling any new development opportunities in a constantly grow-ing city. Mission Bay is an area that has exempli-fied poor land use and has only recently become rec-ognized as an economical asset for san francisco.
The intent of this design is to introduce new uses to the area of mission bay that will enhance its ge-nus loci as well as enrich its public and private uses. With this design, the unused and neglected spaces will be transformed into a thriving place of commerce and community that will emphasize San Fran-cisco’s rich history and innovative traditions of development. This will be achieved through the ad-dition of open space, mixed- use and community de-velopment that will continue to grow as the city ex-pands. The design satisfies the social, economic and environmental need for successful urban development.
mission bay is a 303 acre district located about one mile south of downtown San Francisco’s highly used market street. It is an asset for the city’s growth due to the magnitude of unused open space. towards the end of the 19th century, the northern areas of mission bay were purchased by the southern pacific railroad company which used it as a dumpsite. More recently, it has been plagued by heavy industry as well as by the expansive park-ing lots designated for events held at the AT&T stadium. Because of its previous uses, much of the site has been transformed into a brownfield full of contaminates from poor waste disposal. By the end of the 20th century, the city began to realize the value of mission bay and has since been planning its restoration as a means for econom-ic growth. In the last 10 years, the university of san Francisco has purchased 57 acres of land in the middle of mission bay because of the low cost. The university has since built all new LEED certified campus facilities for their bio- medical college.
