ElevATE was conceived as a one-of-a-kind experience at the intersection of both Stored Potential banner topics of land use, food, agriculture and transportation. The event took place on a bridge over the Interstate 80 corridor that clipped and decommissioned the elevator, made two neighborhoods from one, and produced a massive flow of people and goods through the city, changing our movement, economy, and physical landscape.
The result was an unprecedented collaboration between teams of food and spatial designers in a unexpected public space. Teams designed and constructed 19 unique 'Elevation Stations' lining the bridge and served a corresponding small dinner course of the freshest ingredients grown and produced locally. All 500 attendees were assigned a unique sequence of stations with the intent that each would spark conversation and experience. Select stations will be debuting as pop-up pocket park transformations of vacant lots throughout Omaha in 2013, called Station Points.
