“Silent Waters”

Course: ARCH 406

Typology: Memorial Garden

Location: Edgehill Nashville, Tennessee

About: In this project students had to design a memorial landscape that can be memorialized and celebrated in honor of William Edmondson. William Edmondson was an African American sculptor who was idolized for his sculptures and many people admired his work along with his relationship with his religion.

Concept: Silent Waters is a water themed sculpture garden. The garden has five different moments that captures a difference in topography that generates this moment of sculpting the landscape. These moments relate to scriptures of the Bible and reach out to the community of Edgehill.
