Everybody in Kansas City seems to be an amateur urban planner but FOR ONCE . . . We found a new design that looks kinda cool.
Check it . . .
HERE'S THE FIRST LOOK AT THE NEW CONCEPTUAL DESIGN FOR THE SWOPE PARK GREENHOUSE UPDATE!!!
With very little fanfare, El Dorado Inc. put their project notes online recently ...
Highlights:
"The original Swope Park greenhouse was built in 1914. It’s located just outside of the KC Zoo and within earshot of Starlight Theatre. The city uses the space to grow seasonal, winter hold-over, and propagation plants that are then transplanted throughout city-owned property. It’s where our lovely Parks and Boulevards are born."
"Our design is both functional and sustainable. The new layout improves circulation and reduces traffic by eliminating unnecessary access roads. Less road equals more plants. We’re adding a series of demonstration gardens, manicured turf, native grasses and an on-site storm water collection system."
"There will be two main greenhouse structures, the glass and steel palaces where the greens are grown. Actually, the new greenhouses will be made of a kit of parts of aluminum and plastic. The safety-yellow color plays a central role in the new greenhouse. It signifies access, directing visitors to the head house entrance and it defines circulation, dividing the greenhouses usage zones. High tech environmental control systems will keep the plants growing and spaces flexible as the seasons change."
"A head house holds the services for the greenhouses, and features a public access room where people can attend greenhouse events and learn about what goes on inside. The demonstration garden, adjacent to the head house, will grow a variety of plants."
"The Department of Parks and Recreation will share the new facility with the KC Zoo, Starlight Theatre and the KCMO Water Department. We are currently wrapping up the conceptual design package for the project and look forward to advancing into technical design very soon."

Of course, I'm pretty sure it'll all be destroyed after the first available free day . . .

ReplyDeleteHaha!!! Good one!
LOCAL TV: LIVE!!! EXCLUSIVE!!!
Shots were fired late this afternoon in the parking lot of the Swope Park Greenhouse following the first "free day" open house event for the new facility.
Preliminary reports indicate the shooting followed a previous fight which had broken out amongst the rival gardening clubs. One witness stated that it was all a misunderstanding over the use of the word "hoe."
Will the greenhouse be growing inclusive plants that appeal to minorities? Will it host late night horticultural events for youth to watch the inclusive plants?
ReplyDeleteBut how many niggers will it hold?? All of them??
ReplyDeleteNice addition to the zoo at SPOOK PARK.
ReplyDeleteRemember what Dorothy Parker said about horticulture? Oh wait... you've never heard of Dorothy Parker.
ReplyDeleteSwope Park? Are you fucking kidding me? Yeah, that will be a great attraction. All the homeys breaking into the place every other day. Are they going to grow weed there? Then it will be several time EVERY day.
ReplyDeleteCan't they wait for the Star to go bankrupt?
ReplyDeleteOnly plant the hood rats are familiar with is "weed" and since it will be legal soon, this place will be totally destroyed. It will look like Joplin after the tornado hit.
