Cleveland Civic Core Cleveland LMN Architects

摘要

Daniel Burnham-"Uncle Dan" to the generation of American architects that came of age at the turn of the 20th century-was one of the country's foremost proponents of the integrated, Beaux-Arts-inspired planning approach known as the City Beautiful movement. Among his few completed urban-scale projects is the Cleveland Mall. Often called the Burnham Mall in his honor, the monumental corridor with its stately public buildings has seen its fortunes rise and fall with those of the city around it. The city took advantage of its current upswing to revitalize the 600,000 square feet of lakefront parkland with the help of Seattle-based LMN Architects. Part of that plan, a new Cleveland Convention Center, is (as its predecessor was) discreetly hidden beneath the Mall.
