Since the earliest iterations of the late nineteenth century, St. Peter's Pier has been an integral part of the identity and image of St. Petersburg, Florida. In the past, it was abandoned and outdated, and could not cater to the aesthetics of modern people, but the historical context gave it a deeper understanding, so the project added and upgraded infrastructure through the integration of transportation and space, and injected vitality into the revitalization of the city center.
The St. Pete Pier has been integral to the identity and image of St Petersburg, Florida, since its earliest iteration in the late nineteenth century. In the past, it was abandoned and outdated and could not cater to modern people's aesthetics. However, the historical context has given it a deeper understanding. Therefore, this project adds and improves infrastructure through the integration of transportation and space, and provides a better environment for the city center. Revival injects vitality.
The redeveloped dockland consists of two projects, the St. Pete Quay and the Pier Approach. It enhances the multi-channel passage space through a combination of architecture, landscape design, planning, multi-modal access, and flexible planning. The design uses a triangular structure to break the traditional straight passage and frame a wraparound route for people to walk, and the large lawns on both sides perfectly integrate with the surrounding environment to create the overall atmosphere of the space.

The large areas of lawn on both sides perfectly integrate with the surrounding environment to create the overall atmosphere of the space.
From the outset, the new marina was designed as a collection of open space uses and diverse experiences. The design is an example of urban infrastructure with social, economic, and environmental goals in itself. More importantly, it creates a satisfying destination with engaging landscape and architectural spaces, natural beauty, and active public planning.
Inspired by local ingenuity and traditional agricultural practices, the stacked green roofs of urban agriculture at the University of Law and Political Science have formed retention lawns that can slow down, absorb, and store rainwater, while also being used for growing food. All runoff will be filtered through each layer of soil and stored in four reservoirs, capable of collecting up to 11718 cubic meters of water for roof irrigation and future use.
Use regional linkage to improve spatial activity

The design emphasizes connections to existing historic waterfront parks and downtown neighborhoods. The dockland area is conceived as a pedestrian-focused, multi-modal area that is connected to everyday life in the center of St. Petersburg, with transport and entertainment systems such as bicycle lanes, jogging tracks, parking lots, and public transport.
Another issue addressed by this project is to help students and community members rediscover their history and educate them on sustainable organic farming practices. A century ago, the original site of the rooftop farm was a rice plantation. With the expansion of Bangkok, the rice fields were flattened, but through this project, rice production returned in modern form. Through volunteer service, 40000 students and nearby residents learned how to plant and harvest this cultural landscape heritage.
The sloping lawn provides a place for people to stay and rest, and the adjacent plaza space adds activity space, which not only improves the utilization rate but also increases the sense of experience for visitors.

The marina and new structure provide shade, shelter and comfort, with a spacious cantilevered roof that blends seamlessly with the architectural landscape.

The architectural design follows the modernist tones of the Florida region, featuring a subtle color palette and a simple mix of concrete, metal, and wood to create a relaxed aesthetic. The surroundings draw on coastal native typologies such as sand dunes, mangroves, and estuaries, creating a cohesive interpretation of the local landscape through the combination and native flora.

Propose a sustainable management approach
Propose management methods for sustainable development
The design team came up with a variety of innovative solutions to address complex challenges, including designing stormwater systems to meet water management needs and achieving water quality before discharging into the bay. Native rain gardens and bioswales, for example, complement the needs and provide visitors with an enjoyable and educational experience to explore, while creating a natural habitat for wildlife.
The design team proposed a variety of innovative solutions to solve complex challenges, including designing stormwater systems to meet water management needs and achieving sustainable water management methods such as achieving required water quality before discharge into the bay. For example, rain gardens and bioswales with native ecology can not only improve the needs, but also bring pleasant viewing and educational exploration experience to tourists, while establishing natural habitats for wild animals.
The design completes people's rigid demand for parking, and ensures parking demand while maintaining pedestrian participation. The project focuses on active centers (Pedestrian Welcome Plaza and Market Pavilion), Family Park, and Waterfront Edge. Parking spaces are arranged around this traffic circulation, and traffic planning services are also provided for tram services, connecting marina visitors to the urban core, parking lots, restaurants and attractions.

Even more interesting is the installation of Echelman's art on the pier, which provides an oasis for visitors. Here, one can enjoy a moment of tranquility and feel connected to the natural universe. "The sky is the canvas for my artwork," says Echelman, "because the artwork is outdoors and in the fresh air, it provides a real and safe place for people to share during the pandemic." ”

The new quay represents the future of urban infrastructure and is a work of high integration of landscape, architecture and urbanism. When people visit the new pier, they are not only immersed in the local culture, history and environment, but also urban resilience, environmental awareness, social equity, public transportation and entertainment.
