Harvey Milk Plaza - Finalist
Harvey Milk Plaza will serve as a welcoming door to the city’s historic Castro District and a destination to learn about the life (and times) of Harvey Milk. We envision the Plaza as an unified and integrated experiential memorial to inspire generations to come. The proposal consists of a new street level plaza incorporating a panelized ribbon of fluid visual content, a commemorative gesture that evokes the memory of Harvey Milk’s life and extends beyond the boundaries of the plaza to create a new gateway to the Castro. The new Harvey Milk Plaza will be a welcoming place and safe destination where people gather, learn and share in an enduring sense of “home.”
