1 REDMOND CENTRAL CONNECTOR ART & DESIGN MASTER PLAN
2 Redmond Central Connector Master Plan design principles principles make it redmond: past, present, future not just a place with art, a place that is art Several overriding opportunities emerged throughout the master plan design process and were embraced by the design team, City staff and the public. These ideas have inspired and guided the design of the master plan and should continue to shape the implementation of the Redmond Central Connector. Make the Connector unique to Redmond. Honor and celebrate Redmond s past, but do not try to artificially recreate it. Acknowledge Redmond of today and welcome its evolution into the future by making the Connector a forward-looking place. Celebrate and welcome the opportunity for the Connector to evolve over time for a future we cannot predict. Save and reuse historic elements from the railroad in new and imaginative ways to bring history to life and give them new use. Celebrate connections to existing historic structures such as the Justice White House and to others in Downtown through connections beyond the corridor. Create a structure for celebrating history through integrated art, to be implemented and changed over time, allowing responsiveness to the current cultural climate. The Connector presents the opportunity not only to house art, but to be art and to be a catalyst to shape an ever more artistically engaged community. The master plan is shaped at its most basic structure by the artdriven concept of Fluctuations, detailed in Section 3.0. Within the Connector there are numerous layers of art and art opportunities, ranging from art integrated into the design of functional elements of the corridor, permanent commissioned pieces of art to changing curated collections. Required design elements in the Connector such as bollards, furnishings and visual utility elements should be completed in a more artful way, starting with site restoration after installation of the trunk line producing inspired landforms and interim art where seeded meadow would typically suffice. Imagine the corridor as a catalyst for Redmond becoming home to artists and their studios. 18

This magnetic quality should encourage users of the physically connecting the City. The more ambitious and rewarding the Connector. The City around it must do its part by activating the corridor to be engaged, to linger longer in specific spaces, and can goal is for the Connector to create connections between people. The corridor and broader Downtown with the commerce and activity also be a means to encourage visitors to move down the Connector to Connector will create experiences that bring strangers together in that comes with it. The Connector can be both a catalyst for and a more distant areas beyond their planned destination. These corridor sharing a common experience and making personal connections that beneficiary of new commerce and the urban activity that comes with it qualities will also influence the unique design of private development might otherwise not occur. as new businesses choose to front on Redmond s iconic public space along the Connector. Interactive creations can connect people by drawing individuals in yet and people solicit those businesses and activate the surrounding park spaces. Imagine human-scale building blocks that users of the corridor can requiring more than one person to fully activate the artwork or park move to make their own creations. Imagine a stormwater feature element. Imagine a game that requires recruiting multiple players to Buildings that currently turn their back on the Connector will be re- where you control the flow of water. Imagine a zen-like garden play.

Imagine a puzzle that them. as restaurants, athletic clubs, galleries and artist studios will spill out requires and inspires you to walk the whole of the corridor to solve of buildings to outdoor spaces, blurring the line between the public the challenge. Imagine furnishings and canopies that can be moved, Connector and the adjacent private developments. Those attracted to opened and closed by you to respond to sun, shade and rain. Downtown Redmond for its retail and cultural quality will enhance their Downtown experience with a stroll down the Connector. 19
4 Redmond Central Connector Master Plan design principles Capture the sky Celebrate the weather experience the night The Connector is a significant space in the heart of the City, yet the park and trail experience gets as narrow as 30 feet between the buildings and future light rail transit way. Properties on the north side of the Connector may reach 65 feet or higher, and light rail catenary structures to the south can reach as high as 30 feet. Recognizing the narrow, linear quality and surrounding height, the treatment of the space above the corridor becomes a critical opportunity to enhance the corridor experience, celebrating the urban canyon quality, or helping to mitigate it. Portions of the Connector could be deliberately kept free of vertical and overhead obstructions, maximizing the valued open space to the sky as a welcomed relief. Conversely some spaces might create an overhead presence, be it lighting, vegetation, overhead canopy or art, emphasizing the space as an outdoor room both utilizing adjacent verticals and mitigating them. Another opportunity is to utilize the space over the Connector for park elements, particularly art, which might not best fit on the ground, helping turn people s eyes to the sky. The Connector, as with all parks, will be a heavily used and sought after destination in times of dry weather, and particularly so in warmer weather. The opportunity of the Connector is to continue to be that destination year round, continuing to be a gathering place and catalyst for community life in all types of weather. Instead of simply trying to mitigate what might be considered inclement weather, the Connector seeks to celebrate it and use it as one of the elements that gives the Connector its identity. Rain it s in our DNA and the corridor seeks to celebrate it in a way that Redmondites will say, it s raining, let s go down to the Connector! The Connector provides strategic overhead weather protection to allow pedestrian links in the City with building canopies, freestanding pavilions and even artwork. Integral to the experiential design of the Connector are low impact development strategies that utilize stormwater to energize the site even as they provide environmental benefit. Imagine stormwater from all adjacent structures being routed down facades facing the Connector to provide water features that celebrate the rainfall. It s easy to imagine a lively, charged Connector bustling during daylight hours; yet in the Northwest during much of the year our skies are dark for more than 15 hours a day and much of that time is when key social activities occur, when we expect the City to come to life as a bustling hub of commerce and activity. The Connector embraces the opportunity to be even more engaging in the evening than during the day. Beyond mitigating the darkness of evening with ample light, the Connector seeks to utilize light as one of its defining experiential elements. Zone-based lighting and lighting strategies assure that there are a number of different lighting treatments along the corridor. In some places the levels of light are specific and performance-based, such as at intersections to meet defined guidelines. At locations more distant from intersections the lighting can be more subjective, while at significant events along the trail the lighting is a powerful part of the Connector experience, possibly including interactive light elements that complement art or are art in themselves. 20

6 Redmond Central Connector Master Plan design framework fluctuations Through the master plan process, two powerful juxtapositions about Redmond emerged, one physical and one cultural. The master plan embraces the ever changing fluctuation of these juxtaposed conditions. strengthening redmond as... An increasingly urban community A city strongly connected to nature A community rooted in history A forward-looking city shaping the world a fluctuation is: a state of ongoing change a wave-like motion a critical combination of events the motion of fluid, usually water, when collected in an artificial or natural cavity This image is an exploration by Perri Lynch, the master plan s artist, of the idea of fluctuations, which greatly influenced the design for the Redmond Connector. 24
7 design framework 25
8 Redmond Central Connector Master Plan design framework experiential fluctuations These fluctuations give form to the corridor through the character and experiential quality of elements throughout the corridor, predominately through the fluctuations between Redmond s character as both natural and urban, and a small town yet forward-looking and shaping the world. sammamish river downtown bear creek 28
9 Redmond Central Connector Master Plan design framework spatial fluctuations Fluctuations also give form to the corridor as physical elements. The design framework consists of a vocabulary of features and spaces that collectively make up the Connector. Although each feature serves a practical function for ensuring a safe, interesting trail experience, their composition and considerations for integrated art express the character of Redmond and contribute to the creation of the corridor as something more than just a trail. landings islands & eddies ties 30
10 landings Landings are major events along the Connector, and contained within the corridor. These spaces are infused with integrated art to produce a dramatic aesthetic when design framework seen from afar and a strong experience from within, drawing people to the corridor and encouraging them to gather and linger. The spaces are typically located in midblock locations and aligned with existing or planned street-end connections with Cleveland Street. Landings may include sculptural landscapes of earthworks, canopies, lighting features, and water features to create signature moments and punctuated points of interest and connectivity along the corridor. Each landing is a uniquely different experience that is meaningful and engaging, yet when experienced and considered as a collective whole, provides a greater understanding of Redmond s unique social and environmental character. 31
11 Redmond Central Connector Master Plan design framework islands & eddies Islands and eddies are secondary elements and events along the Connector, complementing but not competing with landings, providing small spaces that add visual and experiential interest. Recognizing how the flow of people along the corridor is inherently linear, islands and eddies provide relief from that flow as places for pause and escape. Islands could include landscape, site furniture, art, fountains, canopies, pavilions and more. Eddies are inseparably tied to islands, places where the flow of people in the corridor slows and gathering naturally occurs and is supported with seating and other discoveries that enrich the space. 32
12 ties Just as railroad ties connect two separate rails into a functioning whole, the ties in the Connector are linear design elements that create physical and visual connections across the corridor to produce a more cohesive, functioning corridor that is woven into the City s urban design framework fabric. The ties are expressed in a number of ways to serve a variety of functions. They may be flush, extruded or elevated. The ties are rhythmic elements that provide the visual cues and physical space necessary for trail and park users to intuitively slow down and respond to the changes and options that are present along the trail, such as approaching landings and intersections. 33
