I like this idea of a natural spring + manifesting the history into a physical form, and taking artifacts from it to create an environment that’s beautiful, is a natural ecological area for flora and fauna, plus can probably (if its included I have no idea) be some sort of environmental remediation device.
Tanner Springs Wide Angled Wall (via ken mccown)
A view of the water and the wall at Tanner Springs park in the Pearl District in Portland, OR. This design is by Greenworks, and I believe Herbert Dreiseitl….I can’t remember the artist’s name who helped to work on this wall.
The park restores an area of a natural spring, and recalls the cultural and physical history of the site by reusing rails from the old railroad. The rails splay along a retaining wall.
really digging the rails.
