BEST OF LOUISVILLE: CITY PANEL Barry Alberts Partner, CityVisions Associates; former executive director, Downtown Development Corp. Charles Cash Principal, Urban 1 LLC; former director, Louisville Metro Planning and Design Services Patrick Piuma Director, Urban Design Studio; associate director, City Solutions Center Sustainability Initiative American Life Building rooftop 3 Riverfront Plaza "Te green roof on the Mies van der Rohe building, maintained by Bernheim Forest, serves as a great example of how our city can cut down on the urban heat-island effect." — Piuma "Kudos, too, to MSD's Raingarden Program for tackling urban runoff in a widespread and significant way by encouraging raingardens throughout the metropolitan area." — Alberts Mixed-Use Project Cardinal Towne University of Louisville "Cardinal Towne brings much- needed commercial and residential vibrancy to Old Louisville and the Belknap Campus, responding well to the surrounding neighborhood form both in building height and architectural design." — Piuma "Ten there's Whiskey Row Lofts demonstrating the multiple possibilities in historic building reuse, with the central grand stair as the organizing element." — Cash RC Emerging District Lower Frankfort Avenue "Tis formerly forgotten stretch of Frankfort Avenue is now transforming itself into a hip location with its own character and ambiance, connected to but clearly distinct from its more established neighbors up the street." — Alberts Barry Alberts "Te South Preston Street and Goss Avenue corridors also are developing into destinations. Zanzabar, Sunergos and Greenhaus along Preston and Eiderdown and Four Pegs along Goss appear to be serving as catalysts for more redevelopment and interest in the area." — Piuma Residential Concept The Edge at Liberty Green "Te Edge offers a new/old building typology, the urban townhouse, capable of being divided vertically or horizontally, depending on the live/ work situation. Te buildings will eventually frame a gently curving park frontage, recalling urban spaces shaped by Olmsted in Boston and New York." — Cash Creative Reuse Project The Marcus Lindsey 801 E. Main St. "Te Marcus Lindsey Church was a long-vacant structure in decline. Te adaptive reuse combines residential with a wonderfully reconfigured sanctuary space currently used for events. Te thoughtful landscape design of the adjacent vacant land for gardens and gatherings has optimized this unique NuLu conversion." — Cash "Te Marketplace at Teatre Square oozes a cosmopolitan air within this creative renovation, taking a Fourth Street treasure (the Kentucky Teater) and morphing into one of the coolest new spaces in Louisville." — Alberts [64] LOUISVILLE MAGAZINE 7.12
