refreshing, animated fountain

meandering path…but with
a sense of direction
places to stop & read or watch
people on this well traveled route

seating
upbeat, healthy glow draws
people together
unique identity
in the city but
seems miles away

unique personality
mix of community & visitorsalways vibrant & quirky
looks cared for, but not manicured
Koerner Hall
dramatic, confident design
warm & vibrant glow, with just
the right amount of detail
(neither too busy nor too stark)
unique identity
performers say
they love it too!
distinctive social gathering spacevariety…dense…but not crowded
appeals to all ages
VillageofYorkvillePark
AllenLambertGalleria
connection to the past
soaring, confident design
unified, but with varied spaces
amazing light at almost any time of day
