In 2020, the social and political polarization in the US has become more transparent. Opposing sides find they do not share ideological similarities. Studies have shown that polarization stresses the fabric of society and negatively affects families, workplaces, schools, neighborhoods, religious institutions, and more. Polarization is more than disagreeing. It results in the refusal to have conversations and develop relationships with individuals who have differing views. Instead, we often create group identities. We surround ourselves with those who have similar values and segregate our communities by political party and ideology.

The sculpture park serves as the heart of the city of Des Moines. It is a place that
attracts
people
to
visit its artwork and engage with the community through various
activism
events.

The
Vanishing
Point
causes
and
alleviates
tension through the use of fragmented objects, heavy and contrasting materials, lighting, and organization of space. The long descent into the subterranean
architecture
encourages
visitors
to think deeply about what they are about to 21
endure. The Katastwof Karavan plays irritating music which causes tension. As visitors circulate their way back to the surface, the increase of natural lighting is perceived as an element to ease tension. Lastly,
they revisit
with the new information

it
encouraged
to
share
with
the plaza
