THE ORIGINAL SIZE HAD PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS TO RE-USE EXISTING SCULPTURE AND SERVE AS THE ENTRY AND PUBLIC REALM OF THE NEW OFFICE TOWER.
THE NEWLY ENVISIONED PARK AGAIN REFERENCES TEXAS HERITAGE AND VARIED REGIONAL ECOSYSTEMS, PLANTS AND WILDLIFE. CONCEPTUALLY THE PARK IS ORGANIZED BY THE THEME OF TEXAS RIVERS EXPRESSED AS CONTINUALLY FLOWING FOUNTAINS OF VARYING LENGTHS. THE REGULAR SPACING OF THE RIVER FOUNTAINS CREATES AN ORDERED OVERLAY OF GARDEN ROOMS WHICH IN TURN EXPRESS THE CHARACTER AND LANDSCAPE ASSOCIATED WITH EACH RIVER REGION.
