Can we design for free speech? Unprogrammed and undedicated, Elevation A engages public access in potential confrontation with symbols of power. An underhanded nod to monumental high-points becomes a platform as needed- for address, celebration, petition, gathering, reflection and demonstration. It is a grounded public space that belongs to all Americans.
