Baltimore's Inner Harbor is an urban success story in which WRT has played a major role. As author of the master plan,
the firm envisioned a compelling identity for the place, and has helped realize it through more than 100 architectural
and landscape design assignments. WRT's urban design concepts continue to stand the test of time—public use of the
water's edge (exclusive of traffic), continuous cornice lines for surrounding buildings to create a harbor frame, and
emphasis on view corridors to link the city to the harbor. These ideas were translated by WRT into design principles
and guidelines that, carried out by multiple developers, continue to give the Inner Harbor much of its distinctive
ambiance.
The project has won many awards and was named by the Waterfront Center in 1991 as one of the top ten waterfront places. |
