�enai��ueszcc-
�a 2,�'
This proposal is playful, colorful, and all about "thinking
freely'; like the enlightened scholars, scientists, and
artists of the Renaissance period.
For Renaissance Park I'm proposing a 16' high signifier
piece that can be seen from a distance. Similar to
plumage on a hat worn by scholars or actors of the
Renaissance, these three tall feathers are an exuberant
landmark for the park. Park visitors can also sit on a
large throne near the playground and pretend to be
royalty (and it would be an excellent spot for a selfie). A
nearby interpretive sign would help visitors learn more
about the Renaissance.
These 3 elements would invite educational and
interactive fun for Renaissance Park. These elements tie
together with the themes of Renaissance, rich color, and
cohesive feather imagery. Together they would provide
the park with a distinct sense of place.

INTERPRETIVE
PANEL
One long panel tells the story of
several important figures of the
Renaissance including Queen
Elizabeth (a reference to the
proposed fun throne), William
Shakespeare (also referenced in
the street names), Galileo,
Copernicus, Da Vinci, Francis
Bacon, Martin Luther, etc.
The background of the panel is a
close-up view of feather details.
The supports repeats the black
feather base structure.
C THRONE
Park visitors can pretend
they're in a position of power
like Queen Elizabeth of the
Renaissance. Or a parent can
simply watch their child play
on the playground and feel like
royalty for part of their day.
Made of steel, the colors will
match other proposed park
elements. A giant feather
border adds a colorful element
and a fancy royal crown sits at
the top.

MAINTENANCE:
All materials used are considered to be low -maintenance, suitable for our climate, and
easy to clean with a damp cloth. Bolts and other connectors will be tamper-resistant
and hidden whenever possible. Note: It should be easy to mow the grass around the
concrete pad of this installation.
