Two
designers allow Boston's geomorphological past to resonate in the landscape--and
its citizens' experiences. By reconstructing and including marsh within
the park, Bostonians can enjoy a sense of the landscape that Olmsted originally
intended--open, windswept, picturesque, and slightly wild. Adriane
Fowler's artistic collage of a marsh also cleans the city's water. Ah-Yeon
Kim's expansion of the Muddy River from a narrow river to a vast sheet
allows citizens to reconnect with, celebrate and commemorate Boston as "the
city in water."
