The question I intend to answer with this
project is: Can artistic practice stimulate
the designer and the public to interact in
ways that will promote public awareness
of a local post-industrial site? The aim
of this project is to show the potential of
artistic practice to stimulate awareness
in the design of parks on post-industrial
sites. The case-study site is Alton Baker
Park in Eugene, Oregon a large park
with a layered and multivalent history.
Considering these layers of historical
complexity and the timeline of this
project, I have specifically chosen to
narrow this inquiry further by creating art
works that only reflect the industrial past
of the Whilamut Natural Area, formerly
known as the Day Island Landfill. At the
public showing of the created works, I
asked visitors to complete a brief survey
that focused on their experience at the
exhibit and their knowledge of postindustrial
landscapes. The results of this
project demonstrate how art can enhance
and sharpen awareness of post-industrial
landscapes while learning. |
