The
project seeks to strengthen the relationship between the Muddy River and
the Charles as a means of establishing a provocative and enduring urban
infrastructure. As it flows to the north from the Fens, the Muddy River
is combined with urban systems in ways that diminish its intrinsic qualities
and inherent potential. It is constricted through a labyrinth of roads,
overpasses and bridges in the Charlesgate area until it disappears below
Storrow Drive before it connects to the Charles River.
The
original shoreline is carved out to open the connection between the two
rivers and to surround the gatehouse with water.
