Overview
The DOME PROJECT transforms the roof fabric of the recently demolished RCA Dome into shade structures, umbrellas, and pavilions for Indianapolis parks. One roof becomes hundreds - up to 13 acres of fabric will be distributed across the city. We at PUP believe that this project will provide a national example for urban responsibility and material repurposing.
THE NEED:
Many of the city's urban parks & pools have insufficient shade structures and shelters. Though the IndyParks system has planned for many of these improvements, funding is limited. As such, THE DOME PROJECT will help revitalize these neighborhood parks, inviting a greater sense of community spirit and city pride.
THE DELIVERABLES:
- 150-250 Shade structures & pavilions installed throughout the city.
- 1 Public Exhibition that shows the history and process of the project.
- Coordinate 5 community park clean-up days that correspond with the installation of the shade structures.
