| DESIGN/BUILD PROJECT AT THE FIRCREST SCHOOL|
SPRING 2003
SHORELINE,
WASHINGTON
Fircrest is the state school and home for the severely mentally retarded.
Private donors raised the funds for our students to create an interactive
public art environment and garden for the patients in an empty field on their
campus. The result is an art pathway over 500 feet long and includes an interactive
chime sculpture, bridge, amphitheatre, memorial walls, planters usable in
wheelchairs, color wheel table, and mosaic benches. Students were from Art,
Architecture, and Landscape Architecture. Faculty included: Roxanne Hamilton,
Jim Nicholls, Nhon Truong, and John Young.
