Project Description
FROM THE ARCHITECTS:
Another Circle by Aranda\Lasch responds to the strong formal and architectural elements already present in Mill Race Park, using 1,100 pieces of salvaged Indiana limestone to tie together the round lake, the People Trail, and the river with a new 3.5-acre stone circle. While the design hearkens back to ancient henges and modern earthworks, its primary goal is to articulate fields of activity for contemporary park visitors. Within the circle, stones are placed, stacked, or arrayed to create a theater and areas for discussion, games, and relaxation: a loose gathering of function inside a scattering of stone.
