SECTION OF DOWNTOWN BOULEVARD
Bryce Canyon City
As a school project we visited Bryce Canyon City
and assessed the assets of the town and came up
with a master plan for the town that meet a certain
program that was given. The objective was to give
the residents of Bryce Canyon City an idea of what
can happen to an expanding community.

DOWNTOWN WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OF RUBY’S INN, THIS WAS ACCOMPLISHED BY PLACING
THE CITY CENTER ONLY A QUARTER-MILE FROM RUBY’S. ON AVERAGE, THAT IS A 5 MINUTE WALK.
BY LOCATING THE CITY CENTER WITHIN CLOSE PROXYMITY OF ALL AMENITIES, IT WILL ALLOW FOR
TOURISTS AND RESIDENCES ALIKE THE OPPURTUNITY TO BE APART OF A VIBRANT CITY THAT FEELS
WELCOMING AND DESIRABLE FOR ALL TO STAY.
ANYON CITY
AT THE CENTER OF BRYCE CANYON CITY IS LOCATED A PARK DEDICATED TO RUBY & MINNIE

10. Charles Willard Moore was born in Benton Harbor,
Michigan in 1925. He graduated from the University of Michi-
gan with a degree in architecture in 1947. Later served two
c
h
years in the Army Corps of Engineers, and received a Ph.D in
architectural history from Princeton University.
Moore was a teacher during much of his career, at the
University of California at Berkeley, at Yale, and at the Uni-
versity of California Los Angeles. As a practicing architect

much of his work was authored under the firm identification
“MLTW”
Based on his studies at Princeton, Moore developed a hu-
manistic approach to architecture in which each design at-
tempts to engage users within a clearly defined spatial envi-
ronment. To effectively activate these spaces and generate
r
l
synthesis, Moore creates a kinetic juxtaposition of unrelat- Hood Museum - 1983
ed forms.
During Moore’s tenure at Yale, he shifted the design em
e
phasis from architectural formalism to a re-examination of
the nature and function of architecture in today’s world.
Moore designed several buildings during this period that
illustrate his dissidence with the moralistic position that
