A sequence of spaces along the length of the Aquarium and the corresponding Mississippi River Model tells a story that is only possible in Memphis. The Vision Plan capitalizes on the built assets created in the 20th century, enhancing them with a pedestrian-oriented public park and engaging amenities, and utilizes and celebrates the dynamic relationship and elevation changes that exists between the river and land. The journey is populated by interactive exhibits and educational opportunities, oriented around water studies. With a seamless experience along both sides of the river and harbor edges, the Plan elevates the economic potential and public well-being of Memphis. The river, island, harbor, and bluff become connected as one park experience informed by the Memphis Riverfront Concept (i.e. to Foster/Restore/Connect), as developed by Studio Gang Architects. The Vision Plan was created by archimania with Peter Chermayeff LLC and BWS&C.
