位于美国威斯康辛州的联邦海峡和密歇根湖边缘的伊利街道广场由StossLU设计，面积为13000 英尺，它建于2010年，是连接密尔沃基市中心和城市新复兴的外环区域的一个新的公共空间。广场为三英里长的绿色走廊的一部分，这个走廊用于促进沿着城市的公共用地的填海造地活动。项目一开始，就以环境和生态多样性空间最大化为原则，通过使用三个主要元素来保留场地的工业历史和原始环境。

对Stoss来说，将公园作为“灵活的领域”是创造性设计的关键，通过这种方式可以确定它的最终用途。也就是说，审美和多样性的建造可以通过三个元素或“混合生态系统”的条理性组织获得。光芒四射的树林、灵活的领域和钢铁沼泽从场地边缘向水面逐步降低。不同区域的房屋拥有不同的项目、视图和生态特征。

钢铁沼泽位于波纹钢板驳岸的裂缝后面，主要是考虑到水源对场地的渗透影响，以此来限制低水位部分蔓延到广场。这种边缘水的回收方式促进生态的增长。项目想通过现存多样生态种植培养的灵活手段，将广场设计成为进一步改造城市的一种模式。

Positioned on the edge of the Federal Channel and Lake Michigan, Erie Street Plaza by StossLU is a new public space that serves to connect downtown Milwaukee to a newly revitalized outer zone of the city. It is part of a three mile long green corridor that promotes activity along the city’s reclaimed waterfront for public use. From the project’s inception, its form progressed under the principle of maximizing programmatic, environmental, and ecologic variety within the space while recalling the site’s industrial past and surroundings through use of three primary elements.

Viewing the park as a “flexible field” was key for Stoss in creating a design that could behave in a way that would parallel its ultimate use. That being said, aesthetic and built variety is attained within the park by the formal manipulation of three elements or “hybrid ecologies.” The radiant grove, the flexible field, and the steel marsh step down from the edge of the site towards the water. Each distinct zone houses varying program, views, and ecologic characteristics.

Incorporated into all three areas, a paver of variable density and orientation and a wood decking foster general movement throughout the site without acting as a restrictive barrier to specific activities. Luminous fiberglass seats prevalent throughout the park serve to act as nodes of density as lighting conditions change towards nightfall.

The highly variable ecologic opportunity provided by the site’s proximity to Lake Michigan present a further degree of flux within the site. The steel marsh, located behind a slitted corrugated steel bulkhead, allows for the penetration of water into the site in a way that can restrict access to its lower portion depending on water levels within the lake. This reclaimed soft-edge of the water restores a visual marker of the shifting environment and promotes ecological growth at the site.

Ultimately, the idea of fostering flexibility through varied ecology present within the design of Erie Street Plaza can be seen as a model for further urban reclamation projects that aspire to provide complex contextual and programmatic relationships with a clear organizational and material logic imbued within.
