Core of Discovery District The Core of DIscovery District is a district full of attractions and serves as a major catalyst for the urban revitalization of the downtown area. A few of the major attractions of the area are the New Busch Stadium, the Citygarden, the Gateway Arch, and the Old Courthouse amongst others. This district also includes the Gateway Mall, a linear park from the Gateway Arch to Union Station.

La Riviere 1938-1943

Bronze 43.3" x 94.5" x 57"

Aristide Maillol

These sculptures by Bernar Venet are precisely as described by the title… five

beams of steel rolled into a 230.5 degree arc, plus two additional arcs—one

235.5 degrees, the other 232.5 degrees. Each is constructed of four beams of

steel. Throughout his career, Venet works to redefine art and to separate himself

from the idea that art is the expression of the artist. For him the most important

element in a work of art is the concept or idea involved. In his recent work, Venet

creates works based on mathematical graphs and formulas. In mathematics,

Venet discovered a language of symbols that satisfied his desire to create an art

that is non-expressive and not subject to personal interpretation.

Jack Youngerman finds inspiration in art and artifacts from around the world.

The title Samarkand refers to the ancient city located along the Silk Road, an

important trading route. The city experienced numerous conquests during its

2,500 year history, creating a culture that mixed together Iranian, European and

Asian influences. The form of this sculpture resembles one of the most distinctive

forms of Japanese art—a folding screen, combined with elements drawn from

Middle Eastern architecture.

The female nude is the subject of nearly all of Maillol’s mature work. Although

most of his sculptures are characterized by stillness, serenity and emotional

restraint, La Riviere departs from those ideals. The artist creates the feeling of

instability and movement by placing the figure low to the ground and extending

the head and arms beyond the pedestal. The figure, with its legs bent in a pose

that suggests running, is the personification of water.

American sculptor, Tom Otterness creates cast bronze sculptures inspired by fairy

tales, cartoons and early animation. His work often appears comical, but carries

a serious message. In Kindly Geppetto, Geppetto, a carpenter and the fictional

creator of Pinocchio, is about to hammer the poor puppet. Pinocchio wants only

to be a real boy, but first he must prove himself truthful and be able to tell right

from wrong. Otterness explores this complicated relationship between the

creator and his creation.

Context Map

Citygarden

CITYGARDENSITE

Citygarden Siteplan: This plan shows the overall layout of the park and how the buildings and hardscape are nestled within the native landscape.

Along the Gateway Mall, we find a ribbon of landscape accompanied by commercial high-rise buildings in St. Louis’s Central Business District downtown. Flanking our site for the monastery are two of the most important green spaces in urban design. The newest one is a 2.9 acres public park called simply Citygarden between Eighth and Tenth and Market and Chestnut streets. This particular park is part of the recent urban revitalization of downtown St. Louis and introduces to new sustainable strategies

such as green roofs and rainwater collection. The garden’s juxtaposition to our site coupled with it’s dynamic formal design qualities and function as a sculpture park make for clear opportunities to draw visitors to this park onto our site. The garden with its buildings were designed with innovation and sustainability as key driving forces for design and could definitely influence the sustainable strategies attempted on our site.

Kiernerplaza

Further down the Gateway Mall we find another key green space on the east side of our site, we find the Kiener plaza located in front of the Old Courthouse. This space has an amphitheater and water features that invite passer-bys to come and interact with this dy-namic space. The space provides excellent views of the Old Courthouse and the Gateway Arch while providing seating from the busy tours that are popular in the area. The park also

KIENER PLAZASITE

houses a statue by William Zorach called “the Runner” at the center of it’s pool. The plaza also acts as a safe haven for much of the homeless population in the downtown area. This situation works well for the new monastery in our design because we will be able to provide food and clothing to this transient community.

Visual ContextBenedictine Monastery/Soup Kitchen

South 7th Street looking North: In this image we can see the most common approach for visitor traveling by car. With this important approach, laying the site out so that it presents itself but still allows the monks to be shielded off from the distractions of city life.

North 8th Street looking South: Here, we see the more commerical side of the site with the high-rises and two-lane streets. One issue is with the large black building because it will block most of the sunlight on the site and will directly affect the placement of the garden space.

Designed by the renowned Louis Sullivan, the Wainwright Building was designed in 1891 as a ‘modern prototype for office building’ (Wain-wright Building). The presence of such a renowned piece of architecture only a block away from the site gives this building a clear precedent for how efficiency can be accomplished and how that efficiency can be translated into the modern language of today.

St. Louis Gateway Arch

Scottrade Center

As the nation’s tallest monument, the Gateway Arch, designed by Eero Saarineen, symbolizes the westward expansion of the US and St. Lou-is’ role in that. The symbolism and the sculp-tural qualities of this monument

The Scottrade Center as the prime loca-tion for entertainment purposes with it’s over 19,000 seats. WIth the modern design by Eller-be Beckett of Kansas City, the arena ranks as one of the top arenas for tickets sold.

The presence of a professional baseball, the St. Louis Cardinals, will greatly increased visitors to the areas from the months of September til March. With the capacity for over 3500 fans, the stadium becomes a focal point of the downtown areas and will contrast greatly with the silent monks only a few blocks away. Not only does the monastery siting poses obvious issues but now there’s a very profane activity going on only blocks away.

Architect: John PawsonLocation: Novy Dvur, BohemiaConstruction Time: 1999-2004Number of Monks: 35

John Pawson, the father of modern architectural minimalism, was chosen by the abbot of Our Lady of Novy Dvur to design their new monastery. The project is in a small town in the Czech Republic and involved renovated a baroque manor while also including new structures for this monk community. John approached the many challenges of the project with the idea that a monastery is essentially a series of domestic spaces with a number of specialized territories which are not part of a typical family house. This strategies can be seen throughout the complex by his raising the dormitories above the more practical spaces.

Cloister: In this image, we can see how John structure to eliminate the colonnade often seen in cloisters. This tectonic approach gives the appearance of the awning floating above the monks as they proceed throughout the complex.

Chapel: This image shows the monks during mass and how the essence of the space elevates the spiritual experience of the chapel.

Architect: Marcel Breuer + Pier Luigi NerviLocation: Collegeville, MinnesotaConstruction Time: 1953-1961Number of Monks: 153

With the design of Saint John’s Abbey on the St. John’s University campus, Marcel Breuer brings his own principles of modern architecture and how that relates to qualities of mystery and power that have inspired Catholic architecture and liturgy for centuries. The result of this compromise is a church that looks back at the history of Benedictine architecture and attempts to translate the history for new generations of monks and laypeople. Each piece of the church is Breuer’s interpretation of well-known Catholic symbols such as the bell tower, stained glass, and the altar. WIth Breuer’s structural complexity, the church uses forms that eliminate the distinction between structure and enclosure. The folded walls acts as both the structure and the enclosure system. This execution was innovative during a time when religious architecture hadn’t been challenged to conceive of sacred space before

Chapel: This image shows the interior of the monastery and reveals how Breuer uses the structure as enclosure and the entire space is free of any obstructions.

Cloister: From this view, we can gather how Breuer uses concrete to create dramatic spaces that challenge preconceptions of religious spaces at the time.
