Call for design and art proposals

The plans for the Stewardship Center to be constructed east of the pavilion using the natural building materials of earth and straw have been reviewed by the Shaker Heights’ Architectural Review Board and approved with great enthusiasm. The Board was excited about the extensive green nature of the building and its potential for the education and involvement of the community. Knowing that we can move forward with the project we need to look at all the artistic, exhibit, and educational potential for the building. We welcome all ideas and comments.

Two ideas that have been put forward so far for the design are to have a relief mural of the Doan Brook watershed on the 24’ wall that will be facing the pavilion and to incorporate a nature based design using colored glass bottles in the cob wall. The following pictures show examples of some of the creative work that has been done in other places. Please submit your ideas or proposals for these two elements or for other relief carvings, windows, benches, sculpture, metal work or any other artistic element you would like to see or actually do in the building.
