THE RISE

Americans today are seeking to retain their traditional relationship to the land and their historic landscape while balancing simultaneous demands for increased density, more amenities, greater efficiency, and an ever-expanding job market. The Rise offers a paradigm shifting solution: that which cannot be located side by side, can be combined vertically in layers. This project proposes to create a 30-acre public park over a 50-acre development of buildings, streets, and public civic squares. The public landscape of The Rise is composed of tree lined streets, two public squares, and an extensive roof park with a variety of outdoor amenities. The roof park incorporates paths for walking and jogging, a playground, orchards and a vineyard, along with a unique performance space, and at the same time, quieter areas, some constituting native habitat for the native flora and fauna of the bay area.
