The 'Verdant Walk' proposal for Mall B in Cleveland evolved from observations on the city's industrial heritage and new direction toward a sustainable city. Responding to these two forces - Cleveland's industrial heritage and its new green agenda - fabricated steel forms recall the steel industry, while representing new technologies, material uses, and possibilities. They gather, like a herd of futurist beasts, leading the way to a new and prosperous environment. Alluding to moving water, grasses celebrate Cleveland's waterfront location on Lake Erie. Together, the forms and grasses transform the lawn to be enjoyed individually or by group celebration. Gathered in a heard and glowing with excitement, the forms of 'Verdant Walk' invite visitors to join them. Run as a juried competition by Cleveland Public Art, this winning proposal will be on display for two years starting in the spring of 2008.
