San Francisco landscape architect and designer Lawrence Halprin, known best for his redevelopment of Ghirardelli Square, developed a $275,000 plan for downtown Cleveland funded by the Cleveland Foundation, Greater Cleveland Growth Association, and City of Cleveland. In his trademark style, on exhibit in many public plazas around the U.S., Halprin called for a single, large plaza with geometrical concrete terraces and artificial waterfalls. The plan proved too expensive, leaving backers to try to implement a piecemeal redesign of the square. | Date: 1975 | Source: Cleveland Press Collection, Cleveland State University Library Special CollectionsDownload Original File
