The St. Louis Riverfront is known for its vibrant community events and scenic attractions, drawing both locals and visitors alike. This illustration project takes a deeper look at the area, exploring not just its role as a communal gathering space but also its unique juxtaposition of nature and industrialization. Through journalistic illustration, the project captures key elements of the riverfront’s landscape, focusing on the interplay between organic forms and the surrounding industrial architecture.
The illustrations are paired with captions that enhance the reader’s understanding, telling a compelling story of the space. By examining both the physical and emotional qualities of the riverfront, this project invites the viewer to reflect on how the landscape design shapes the experience of the site.
