Port Covington East Waterfront Park | Baltimore, MD
The East Waterfront Park represents Phase One of a comprehensive transformation of the Port Covington peninsula in Baltimore. The design of the park provides an active interface between a dynamic urban realm and the rejuvenated water’s edge. The language of the landscape emerges from a careful weave of cultural and ecological networks, historic artifacts, and maritime programs, which is meant to connect the dots between human and ecological performativity resulting in a more resilient and interactive public realm. A feature of the Park is the reinterpretation of a derelict pier into a linear, interactive ecological experience. A new program floats over the existing pier architecture to create innovative new experiences. The Archeological Pier, as it has become known, will also house the new water shuttle landing with a pedestrian bridge connection over to the reconfigured harbor edge.
