Bench Design
In partnership and with support from Great Rivers Greenways (director Nancy Thompson), CEL Architecture Design team led by Jasmin Aber, assistant lead architect graduate Gina Gage, and master professional creative fabricator D. Tillery, initiated a design and fabrication workshop working with youth at risk –young talent from Team 4 Neighborhood next to porter Park in St. Louis Missouri. The selected youth designed and fabricated eight benches for their neighborhood park. Later their  proud final product; handmade metal benches were installed in the Great River Greenways Porter Park for the ground breaking celebration of Great River Greenways bigger vision for the area.

Designed, and manufactures by local talent and creative professionals.

On October 13, 2011, at 4 pm, we were at the Groundbreaking Celebration at the St. Vincent Greenway in the City for the opening of our benches to the public.
