A Bridge to the Mississippi: A Transportation Museum on the St. Louis Riverfront

St. Louis, like many riverfront cities around the world, has become isolated from the river upon which it was founded, the Mississippi. This thesis proposes a new riverfront transportation museum for St. Louis, as a means of reconnecting the city and the river. The museum, located in the post-industrial riverfront neighborhood of Chouteau's Landing, celebrates the city's heritage of transportation and industry that grew along the riverfront, and serves as an icon for a city seeking to remake the image of its riverfront.
