1. HISTORIC RESEARCH: conduct a basic study of the history of Pittsburgh's development as an industrial city in order to gain adequate understanding of the historic background of the rivers' role in this development
2. BUILD AWARENESS: identify and research the scope of riverfront developments that have been completed since the collapse of the steel industry, developments that are currently under way, and those which have been planned or proposed for the future
3. IDENTIFY: the different ways in which people try to connect with the river based on basic models of interaction with a waterfront
4. PRECEDENT STUDIES: look to various precedents of the ways other cities with waterfronts have successfully incorporated their connection to the water into the city fabric, lifestyle, and economy and identify what types of connection were accomplished and how they were accomplished
5. SITE ANALYSIS: conduct a first-hand analysis of the overall "site" of possible intervention through exploration and observation of the entirety of the riverfront district by district
6. IDEA: identify appropriate goals for renewed use of the river and develop ideas for intervention
7. PROGRAM SELECTION: after defining a focused set of goals and ideologies, create the program for a design intervention
8. SITE SELECTION: select a specific site along the riverfront for the design intervention
* I imagine that these two processes of site and program selection will end up being developed more or less simultaneously, or perhaps in a somewhat back and forth manner, rather than one after the other
9. DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
10. FINAL DESIGN PROPOSAL
