Wall Cycle to Ocotillo is a 20-site, 35-piece sculpture, landscape, and urban design project along a five mile stretch of the new Squaw Peak Parkway.
The sculptural elements of the project are dispersed along the concrete noise wall that separates the highway from the residential neighbor-hoods. The ten to fourteen foot high wall dwarfs the small houses next to it.		Pedestrian Underpass
Site Plan
The sculpture pieces, based on vessel forms, provide a bridge between the vast scale of the highway structures and the modest scale of the houses. The pieces are made of polychromed concrete and painted steel, ranging in size from two to fifteen feet and are lit by photoelectric solar power.
Gold Guardian		The Acoustic Vessels along the canals have evaporative cooling over the benches and solar-powered interior water systems that create water sounds.
