    CAMBRIDGE CITY WIDE MASTER PLAN June 25, 2015 | File Number: 6848 HARMONIOUS CACOPHONY, THE IDEA OF CELEBRATING DIVERGENCE TO SEEK UNITY, INFUSES ITSELF THROUGH THE FOLLOWING PAGES AND INSPIRES OUR APPROACH TO THIS EFFORT FOR CAMBRIDGE. Amy L. Witts Purchasing Agent City of Cambridge Purchasing Department 795 Massachusetts Avenue, Third Floor Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139 Dear Ms. Witts, Thank you for the opportunity to submit this response to the Cambridge City Wide Planning Request for Qualifications. This letter describes the Sasaki team composition, the reasons we are interested in the Cambridge Citywide master plan and why we believe our team brings the ideal balance of creativity and practicality to the effort. As leaders in Sasaki’s Urban Studio, our practice is characterized by an interdisciplinary collaborative of innovative minds, all focused on improving the quality of life in American urban centers. The core tenets of our work are partnerships with our clients toward shared outcomes, meaningful and memorable community outreach, data-driven analysis, well-defined implementation strategies, and transformation through visionary planning and design. We believe that America’s urban centers are critical to long- term environmental, economic and social sustainability. Cambridge is undeniably an incredibly special community, and already a model of what many cities around the globe strive to achieve. Yet, cities cannot be content amid today’s successes; evolution is necessary for long term sustainability. Today, challenges for Cambridge exist, particularly around equity, resilience, transportation systems, and community health, among other issues. We believe this plan is an opportunity to integrate the many future-looking efforts already underway, build consensus, and create an inspired vision for the next decades.

  • Cultural Arts Master Plan, Vol 2
    o o o City of Decatur Cultural Arts Master Plan: DRAFT Report 2. Capital Needs Survey Results Lord Cultural Resources • 12 Facility Needs Survey Decatur Cultural Arts Master Plan Survey of Performing Arts Facility Needs A key issue that serves as an impetus and motivator for the development of the plan concerned a potential need for performance facilities (and related spaces for rehearsal and production) in Decatur. The Beacon Hill Arts Center has served a very important function for many years, providing a home to visual artists, dance companies, theater organizations, a chorus and rental space to individual arts teachers, organizations and other practitioners. Within the context of the public sessions and meetings held to inform the Cultural Arts Master Plan, many community members (including artists and arts groups) expressed desire for space to accommodate more cultural activity, whether it be via existing vacant space that could be adaptively re-used or new construction in partnership with developers, the City or Agnes Scott College (Though it is important to note that the community seems to be well-aware that there is little available land in Decatur for such a project.) While the desire for new space was clear, the potential demand for space on the part of artists and arts groups was not. As a result, the consulting team developed and issued a survey to better understand who needs space, the kinds of activities that they require and how often they might use different types of facilities. The web-based survey was distributed to a list of more than 100 artists and arts groups developed with support from local arts groups and City staff.
