Sustainable North Park Main Street

Art Produce August 13 - 21, 2011
Opening Reception Saturday, August 13th 6-9pm


A framework for the sustainability of San Diego's historic district  of North Park.

Sustainable North Park Main Street (SNPMS) is a broad, yet very grounded vision of a greener future for North Park. Applying simple interventions across North Park’s historic business district, SNPMS proposes a coordinated approach to sustainability. It involves building owners, business operators, and the community in creating a lasting framework for economic prosperity, community action, and an improved urban environment.
Hosed by Art Produce, the Sustainable North Park Main Street gallery show presents the results of a broad scale re-envisioning of North Park’s commercial corridors, developed by young volunteer architects working in conjunction with various community and sustainability stakeholders. Imagined within the larger context of North Park, five key intersections in North Park are illustrated as they would appear if a number of simple – and very feasible – sustainability measures were to be brought together in a coordinated fashion. These measures include building retrofits, new business practices, and public improvements that work together to support the goal of greening North Park.
The work presented by SNPMS provides a foundation for the development of a Sustainability Implementation plan – currently under development – which will help guide North Park Main Street in its efforts to create a community resource center for sustainability. The SNPMS show is intended to provoke thought and elicit ideas from the North Park community to further advance the program objectives:
  • Maintain the cultural and historic integrity of the built and social environment;
  • Increase conservation and the efficient use of resources within the district;
  • Increase community connectivity; and
  • Provide a setting for a sustainable green economy.


Sustainable North Park Main Street is a project of North Park Main Street.
Project funding has been provided by the State Office of Historic Preservation and SDG&E.

The SNPMS Show represents the efforts of the following volunteer design professionals:
  • Yolanda Campbell
  • Alex Esquibel
  • Alex Rojas
  • Jillian Walker
  • Ryan Walker
  • Soeren Wegener


Significant volunteer support has been provided by:
  • Alison Whitelaw, President, Platt/Whitelaw Architects
  • Stephen Russell, Platt/Whitelaw Architects
  • Thomas Brothers, Platt/Whitelaw Architects
  • Anney Rosenthal, OBR Architecture
  • Christopher Brothers, ASLA

  • Olive Branch Green Building Supplies, coordinating the opening night event;
  • ReproHAUS, providing FTP hosting to make our virtual studio collaboration possible;
