T3XTURE collaborated with the Baltimore AIA and the Baltimore Architectural Foundation to organize a series of presentations and a competition to promote fresh thinking about edge, explicitly addressing the Baltimore Waterfront and the Waterfront Partnership’s goal of achieving a swimmable and fishable Inner Harbor in the near future. We asked, How might the edge of the harbor change? We invited a diverse group of thinkers: philosopher, environmentalist, ornamentalist, an ecological engineer, architect, landscape architects, educators, authors, and geographer, to address our questions about the future of Baltimore’s edge, and to present their visions of a swimmable, fishable Inner Harbor. TEXTURE’S inspiration for organizing this joint project was Edward S. Casey’s essay on edge, prepared exclusively for and included in entirety in this publication. The edge of Baltimore’s harbor has transformed physically (it has been hardened), socially, and economically over the past 50 years. The contributors’ awareness of the choices made by the City’s political and commercial powers that led to the current, unsatisfactory condition of the edge informs the think pieces in this issue. Explicitly or not, the essays and projects presented herein situate this edge condition in the broader context of a City mostly formed—or deformed—by well-intentioned but in hindsight misguided decisions about environmental impacts and the needs of its diverse population. An unmistakable “call to action” can be heard in each of our contributors’ expositions. Structured in two parts, around ideas and design proposals, we seek to spark a conversation on the future environmental and equitable development of the edge of Baltimore’s Inner Harbor.
