Challenged with an extremely creative client with an abundance of energy and ideas, the design process was rather kinetic and vigorous and so, too, the design of the project was driven by activity--- the movement of the adjacent river, the dynamic seasonal transitions and the balance between buoyancy and gravity. Metaphors of sails and vessels, powered and adrift, generated a series of performances throughout the project that had to be carefully sewn together in a meaningful, visually satisfying, and functional way.
