Green Renaissance


Green Renaissance with Shiva Sobhani and 6 others
Vancouver Land Bridge, Vancouver, Washington, USA.

This pedestrian overpass - designed to reconnect Fort Vancouver to its waterfront and link the Discovery Trail system - utilizes a rainwater collection system to irrigate its indigenous landscape plantings. Sweeping across the State Route 14 in a simple, elegant arch, the interpretive landscape or the bridge is meant to pay homage to the native peoples encountered by the Lewis and Clark expedition.

Thanks to my daughter Leigh Ann for sharing.
