Site pictures
The specific site within the region we chose is ~230 south 550 west. It sits behind or basically on top of the junkyard of Thomas Electric Company. The inside had some really cool old motors and fans that we photographed. This building has been around since 1917. Across 2nd South used to be the red light district where prostitutes were housed after being moved from Regent Street in 1908 (in between state and main and in between 1st and 2nd south). This area is considered old Greek town. The closest Greek thing I can think of is the Greek orthodox church on 3rd south and 3rd west.
This blog was created to provide a digital sketchbook and chronicle of the second project for our summer design studio. The project is to design a live/workspace in the region of downtown Salt Lake City from 200 South to 400 South, and 300 West to 600 West.
