HARBOR CENTER MASTER PLAN

San Diego, California

The master plan for the site takes its cues from the existing city grid and the crescent shape of the Embarcadero along San Diego Bay. The design parti integrates the variety of circulation systems at this important node while maintaining view corridors. To promote greater participation by residents and visitors alike, pedestrian activities and related programs (aquariums, America’s Cup Center, retail shops, etc.) are located along and in the bay. Similarly, other uses such as the transportation center are located within the framework of the city.
