VIVARIUM SUBTERRANEUM
City of Fort Collins, Colorado, 2003

As members of a project team, Carolyn Braaksma and Barb McKee designed the relief patterns and carved the prototypes for the cast-in-place concrete walls on the Taft Hill Road pedestrian underpass in Fort Collins, Colorado. The walls measure 12’ x 65’ and feature indigenous plants and insects, with a textual key for their identification. Also included in the project are 5-ft high cast bronze fence posts at roadway level, that provide a ready visual landmark to the special underpass below.
