Legacy Project: Help Columbia Revitalize Main Street

Tapp’s Building on Main Street

Thursday, October 20th, 2011

Lunch provided, AIA credits available

In conjunction with the AIA SC State Conference, AIA Columbia will be helping to host the Legacy Project.  Legacy Project participants from across the state will learn about the History of Main Street from the Historic Columbia Foundation as well as the future plans of the City of Columbia.  The Charette will focus on the block between Taylor and Blanding Streets, including the design of a pocket park and connecting the block to the newly constructed parking garage.  The challenge is to develop new functions, spaces, and designs that will activate the Main Street Corridor.

$5 for conference registrants, $10 for non-conference registrants
