Inspired by Frederick Law Olmsted’s seven-mile long “Emerald Necklace” across Boston, the CV Northshore Master Plan envisions a new mode of urban development for the Salton Sea region, which combines socially programmed “charms” and urban elements along a path connecting Albert Frey’s North Shore Beach and Yacht Club to the Salton Sea State Beach Recreation Area. The spaces created are flexible, reconfigurable, dynamic. New structures are simple and easily constructed, even off-the-shelf. Materials are humble, durable, and largely renewable or recyclable. Modular elements reflect community needs and institutions—from recreation to entrepreneurship, culture and the arts, energy, infrastructure, and environmental protection.
