项目概况:
Housed in the former home of the 10-story International Shoe Company, the sprawling 600,000 square-foot City Museum in St. Louis is quite possibly the ultimate urban playground ever constructed. The museum is the brainchild of artist and sculptor Bob Cassilly who opened the space in 1997 after years of renovation and construction.Although Cassilly passed away in 2011, the museum is perpetually under construction as new features are added or improved thanks to a ragtag group of20 artists known affectionately as the Cassilly Crew. How about a sky-high jungle gym making use of two repurposed airplanes, two towering 10-story slides and numerous multi-floor slides, a rooftop Ferris wheel and a cantilevered school bus that juts out from the roof, subterranean caves, a pipe organ, hundreds offeet of tunnels that traverse from floor to floor, an aquarium, ball pits, ashoe lace factory, a circus arts facility, restaurants, and even a bar…All thematerials used to build the museum including salvaged bridges, old chimneys,construction cranes, and miles of tile are sourced locally, making the entire endeavor a massive recycling project.
