The Auditorium Shores Wave

Melanie Morris



Lines are shown to represent the flow of water. 




I was inspired by two different things for my project: the skateboard park wave and the auditorium shores dog park. I wanted to create something to keep the dogs safe in the summer heat. I plan to create this structure out of copper and coat it so that it is safe for drinking water. The water will be collected from the river and go through a filter underground as well as a cooling system. This water will run up the inside of the piece and run out the top of the structure. This water will run down the front of the piece, collecting at the bottom where there will be a dog "dish". This water will be constantly running and recycled/filtered/cooled each time through. The pumps will collect more water from the lake as needed. The opposite side of the piece will also add some coverage for the dogs to get out of the hot sun.
