ABSTRACT
The garden responds directly to site-specific scale, context, material, and local orientation. The major space of the garden is scaled to the open space and view shed extending from the capitol to the city. The garden embraces the east side and northeast corner of the site along Cedar Street as a logical area in which to draw visitors or passerbys into the garden. The sloped walkway is to provide easier wheelchair movement on this part of the site. If a visitor is moving uphill toward the capitol, along the trellis, the view of the capitol is hidden through the grove of trees untill the 1920 trellis mark near the corner, at which point it is revealed.
