Speaking Stones
Richmond Community Center, San Francisco
This project consisted of selecting specific landscaping materials
such as trees, herbs and tree grates as well as designing the overall
plan of the garden, the path and individual areas in order to create
a meaningful environment for the local community. Meandering along
the path, through the garden and in the lobby of the Community Center,
one encounters lines of poetry carved into rocks, seat walls, walkways
and floors.
