Memphis riverfront

Memory

Arriving in Memphis or leaving on a cruise ship or a steamer. A horizon. A huge river. A huge sky.

Memphis, musical city. Festive and festival nights. Music in the street. Beale street.

The end of Beale Street is a terrace on the riverbank. An urban-scale esplanade at the level of the coastal avenue at its junction with Beale Street.

From here you can reach the end of Tom Lee Park, the Coblestones area and the new pier.

The new system of terraces, services and landing stage is integrated into a superstructure in the form of an urban portico.

The large steamboats that sail the Mississippi served as a reference for creating a floating building.

This ship, immobile on its "x" and "y" axes, moves vertically, guided by the giant columns of the superstructure.

The appearance and disappearance of the horizon on the coast, the result of the appearance and disappearance of the floating dock, indicates to walkers the altitude conditions of the river.

During their oath, the jury precisely defined:

“It is a mechanism, a barometer of the conditions and the tide of the river.”
