The 14th Street Music District creates a space that allows for the music and performing arts culture of Lincoln to be able to showcase itself to the community.
The revitalization of this street will provide a space for the community to come together, socialize and be able to enjoy art and music, whether at a scheduled event such as Lincoln Calling, or just happening everyday.
Our proposed changes to the street provide a permanent colored boardwalk with pedestrian friendly installations that encourage spontaneous musical and street performance year round. This proposal seeks to enhance the Lincoln Calling event and more annual events in Downtown Lincoln.
Utilizing adaptable installations created from redesigning the trash bin, performance spaces are created that can be arranged in different configurations within the main street.
Through the deployment of these objects as well as street development, this proposal draws the area into one big celebration of art and music in Lincoln activated along the 14th Street Corridor.
The vision of this project is to create a clear plan for revitalization of downtown Lincoln, specifically focused on 14th Street between O Street and P Street. At the current state this street is rather barren and is in need of an update. With the ample amount of storefronts and ability to redesign the street, our group believes that creating an area that provides the City of Lincoln a new “place” on the map for the music district will lead to more movement and gatherings into downtown Lincoln. We want to change the streetscape and bring in furniture and vegetation to the street in order to create a brand new experience.
Projection Mapping: Turning the 14th street parking garage into a display surface using projection mapping technology/installing projectors along the 14th street corridor.
Phase 1 - Projections from Planter poles - taking one section of the 14th Street Garage
Phase 2 - Mapping done across entire parking garage - projectors placed on planter poles along the side of the street above pedestrians
