  • The Water Garden is a series of three cascading stormwater planters on Vine Street in Seattle, performing flow control and treatment for urban runoff in a visible and demonstrative way, bringing public awareness to the City’s water conservation efforts.  The Water Garden is set in a curb-extension micro-park within the public right-of-way and treats stormwater that discharges from the Beckoning Cistern, a functional urban stormwater sculpture by Buster Simpson.  The Water Garden features plantings of ferns, shrubs and water plants, designed to provide treatment through biofiltration and other Green Street processes.  The Water Garden is part of the Growing Vine Street Project, a green street initiative in Seattle’s Belltown district.

  • The outstretched hand of Buster Simpson’s Beckoning Cistern (2002) manages roof stormwater runoff from the 81 Vine Street Building.  The sculpture was funded by the Seattle Public Utilities 1% for Art Program to support the Growing Vine Street Project, a green street concept developed in the 1990s in Seattle’s Belltown district.  The concept of Growing Vine Street is to use biofiltration and other Green Street elements to treat stormwater before it is released directly into Elliott Bay.  This functional sculpture performs flow control and treatment for urban runoff in a visible and demonstrative way, bringing public awareness to the City’s water conservation efforts.

  • Skinner Butte Columns is a small, well-established rock climbing area in a downtown city park in Eugene, Oregon, USA. The rock is columnar basalt formed in a slow-cooling magma intrusion, resulting in relatively uniform polygons and rock of high density and excellent quality.  The cliff was mined in the early 1900s, but the more fractured, unstable face resulting from mining operations has been blanketed with chainlink fence to prevent climbing on the unstable rock.
