Focusing in on the primary site at 74th and Cedar, trying
to figure out what is the best way to configure ‘flume’.
Is it a simple rolled pipe-like form that opens to the sky or
something that’s conical with some more sculptural intrigue? Should it frame an entire landscape scheme or
simply be placed as a sculptural object within a field of green? Should it function as a walkway or a
stage? Is interactivity desirable or
should it be more of a standalone object to be contemplated from a
distance? Should the piece be illuminated
at night or have some luminous feature?
How detailed should we make the flora/fauna fenestration along the top
of the piece? How readable would this
fenestration be against existing foliage?
Should the piece be painted or left as rusting relic? More visibility issues…also questions and
concerns about maintenance and vandalism.
What is the ground plane interface?
Should it be buried in earth, placed on a footing or supported by
stones?
These are a few of the issues I’m thinking about as I try to refine
the approach…
