Abstract Details

2014, Master of Landscape Architecture, Ohio State University, Architecture.
This thesis considers Cleveland, Ohio’s current and historic lakefront planning tradition through the lens of two land creation projects. The first, the Lake Erie International Jetport, was proposed in the late 1960s but never built. The second, the Cleveland Lakefront Nature Preserve, began its life in 1979 as a confined disposal facility for polluted sediments dredged from the Cuyahoga River and Cleveland Harbor. An examination of the motives, techniques, and desires behind these projects reveals that the creation of land from polluted dredged material is Cleveland’s strongest and most consistent waterfront development tradition—one that has emerged from the distinct material economy of Cleveland to offer a future vision of the waterfront that synthesizes the city’s industry, ecology, and culture.
