The future of downtown Stillwater? Five architects and a designer have been meeting in a spartan room next to the Greater Stillwater Chamber of Commerce for the past few months to sketch it out.
Words scribbled on long sheets of vellum paper -- taped to the walls with blue painter's masking tape -- show what they've been concentrating on: Main Street. Chestnut Street Mall. Storefronts. Biking. Parking. Traffic circulation. Dozens of computer-generated sketches fill the conference room table.
The sketches and ideas will soon be compiled in book form and presented to the chamber's Downtown Revitalization Committee and the Stillwater City Council.
Todd Streeter, the chamber's executive director, enlisted the six men to help the chamber generate images and blueprints showing what downtown could look like after the new St. Croix River bridge opens in 2016 and the Stillwater Lift Bridge closes to vehicle traffic.
As part of the bridge construction, a bike-pedestrian loop trail will be created, circling the new bridge and the old. In addition, the Brown's Creek State Trail is being built on the former Minnesota Zephyr dinner train route, which runs north and west out of downtown Stillwater. With its connection to the Gateway Trail and St. Paul, it's expected to bring in thousands of bicyclists.
"We're trying to be proactive and get ahead of the curve," architect Brian Larson said. "Because what's going to happen is that it's going to be pretty abrupt -- all of a sudden the bridge will shut down and these bike trails will show up."
Architect Tim Old, of SALA Architects in Stillwater, added: "It seemed like there have been a number of times in the past 40 years that all of this stuff has been visited and revisited, but we're faced with some new opportunities because of the bike trail and bridge."
The most eye-popping proposal: turning the two blocks of Chestnut Street that run from Main Street to the lift bridge into a pedestrian plaza.
"When you think of Stillwater, you think of the lift bridge," Larson said. "It's like a magnet, and the plaza would be sitting right in front of it. You hope that you take a bold move, and do what you can with it. To have an open (city) block like that, it just doesn't come along very often.
"Some people have talked about running (the plaza) all the way up to Third Street -- to the (Chestnut Street) stairs," he said. "Wouldn't that be something?"

PanARMENIAN.Net - Istanbul Modern's 2010 exhibition Armenian Architects of Istanbul featuring photos of architectural structures made by Armenian architects during the rule of the Ottoman Empire, can now be seen online on the Turkish Museum of Architecture's website, Todays Zaman reported.
A joint effort between the Istanbul 2010 European Capital of Culture Agency, the International Hrant Dink Foundation and the Solidarity Association of Architects and Engineers (HAYCAR), the exhibition was on display at the Istanbul Modern from Dec. 9, 2010, to Jan. 9, 2011, as part of the Istanbul 2010 European Capital of Culture program.
Now, art lovers who missed the exhibition can visit the virtual museum to have a look -- http://www.archmuseum.org in English and http://www.mimarlikmuzesi.org in Turkish. The show is on the website under the heading Armenian Architects of Istanbul in the Era of Westernization.
Curated by architect Hasan Kuruyazici, the exhibition highlights the role of Armenian architects in shaping Ottoman Istanbul during a Westernization process that took place from the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century. Photos of more than 100 buildings by 40 Armenian architects, from churches to mosques and hospitals to municipal buildings, are being showcased.
The architecture of Istanbul would be unimaginable without the Balian family - a dynasty of famous Ottoman imperial architects of Armenian ethnicity.
For five generations in the 18th and 19th centuries, they designed and constructed numerous major buildings, including palaces, kiosks, mosques, churches and various public buildings, mostly in Istanbul. The nine well-known members of the family served six sultans in the course of almost a century and were responsible for the westernization of the architecture of the then-capital city.
The Balians used Western architectural techniques and designs; they did not, however, disregard traditional Ottoman elements. The most important and largest construction built by members of the family was Dolmabahce Palace, which is considered to be one of the world's finest palaces of the 19th century.
Most of their buildings are still in use and registered as historical monuments.
Another illustrious architect of Istanbul was Mimar Sinan (15 April 1489 - 17 July 1588) the chief Armenian Ottoman architect and civil engineer for sultans Suleiman I, Selim II, and Murad III. He was, during a period of fifty years, responsible for the construction or the supervision of every major building in the Ottoman Empire. More than three hundred structures are credited to his name. He is also considered one of the world's first earthquake engineers.
