I think it's something that was planned but never built. It's on the section of
Gensler's website labeled:
10 Years of Inspiration
Not all of our projects came to fruition.
Here's a look at some of the work that never left the drawing boards.
Block 36 - The Garage
Quote:
The Garage is a mixed use entertainment center designed to dynamically serve as a public park by day and a live music destination by night. Named after its evolution, the project began as an infill parking garage to serve nearby hotel developments and Austin's convention center.
Seeking to capitalize on the park's prime location adjacent to Palm Park and Waller Creek redevelopment, the client asked Gensler to explore using the roof as a park an event space. Seeing the potential, and knowing Austin's demand for live music destinations, the program soon evolved to include parking, retail and restaurant use, and a full blown outdoor concert and event center.
