| Design Enhancement Panel (DEP) |
|
The Design Enhancement Panel’s role is to ensure that aesthetic design details for the Willamette River Bridge and surrounding area are interpreted in a cohesive way. The DEP also advises the Oregon Department of Transportation’s design firm, OBEC, on design recommendations. ODOT and the CAG/PDT will continue providing feedback to OBEC as well.
Areas for design opportunity and enhancement with similar characteristics or co-located within the project area are organized into "design bundles" by OBEC. Examples of design bundles include: the Whilamut Natural Area; south side interpretive area; south side neighborhood sound walls; and design enhancements on the bridge itself. Design bundles may have different schedules and parameters and lend themselves to a range of design expertise.
The DEP will review Requests for Proposals for design bundles, participate in interviews and recommend a local designer(s) and/or artist(s) to work with OBEC to further develop design ideas and proposals based on the DEP’s interpretation of the overall design theme. The local designer and artist will develop an approach to engage the bundle specific-stakeholders to develop design proposals, will closely coordinate with the DEP, and will present design proposals to the CAG/PDT. Not all design bundles may benefit from hiring a local designer and artist. The implementation of some bundles may be facilitated more efficiently by design expertise currently on the OBEC team with guidance from the DEP.
Please watch for details of aesthetic design recommendations by early fall of 2009.
