In studio I'm working on a redevelopment of the mill and grain silos on Mill Avenue in Tempe. My proposal as you will see includes the creation of a shaded outdoor stage between the two buildings, an art gallery inside the old mill building, and a cafe on top of the mill itself.
In addition, I am also including images of a prototype transportable stage/gallery which folds up into a shipping container size. It has an image of a typical house on the front at full scale, fake grass to roll out, and a gallery to showcase local art inside.

I think I approve.
If nothing else it would be excellent to actually put that land to use in a worthwhile way for the Ave, instead of smashing it down and erecting white-tube condominiums or something equally inane. Mill Avenue is a center for culture and art as sure as any major location in Tempe, especially a gathering point for ASU. Plus, it would be neat to extend the pedestrian influence. Right now, the End of Mill Café is literally at the end of Mill. That’s about where everyone turns around.
Sure, there’s the fake lake, but it’s slowly being occluded by soulless buildings of steel and glass—and a lot of us didn’t care for it much in the first place. Not like there’s anything to eat there, no people to talk to, it’s a place to take a stroll, maybe, but it’s hardly a center for any sort of conversation.
I’d really love to see more of this.
