Details

**Natural stone is found throughout, creating eddies and places to rest. Each plaza features a regional stone that has been dynamically cut and reconfigured to create a form of natural sculpture. Between the plazas basalt columns are stacked vertically and laid flat to create a variety of seating conditions.
