The Westside Reservoir Park offers not only more available green space for Atlanta but an opportunity to bridge community, art, and ecology through eco-revelatory design. Landscape art and eco-revelatory design can offer beauty and curiosity but also reveal an underlying connection to the environment and educate visitors to the site. Since the water from the reservoir will be used as part of the City of Atlanta’s potable water source, it is important that people understand the dynamics of how the water system works naturally and how water gets from point A to Point B. Collection of rainwater from the site allows visitors to see the process water goes through to get to the reservoir with the deconstruction of the land, highlighting the extreme geology, and introduction of play, interwoven in the framework. This is where landscape art can transform misconceptions that people have about natural processes into clear understandings. A clear understanding and connection from art with the land and water allows visitors and community to grasp the natural processes creating a learning environment that is constantly changing and evolving over time.

History of site: Before the City of Atlanta purchased the site, the Bellwood Quarry was owned and operated by Vulcan Materials Company. The primary purpose of the quarry was mining of granite for crush and run gravel. The plan for the quarry is to provide The City of Atlanta with approximately 1.9 billion gallons of water.

Philosopy: Water is selfless, extremely transformable, full of surprises both quiet and powerful, and yet remains the reliable carrier of life for all organisms. Its untarnished beauty and elementary power were regarded with respect in many cultures, admired and revered in religions and mythologies. Today we rediscover its fundamental value an essential role in environment, climate and life of this planet.
“Water is far from being just a designers resource or material: it begs to have its vi-tal possibilities rediscovered. This starts at the beginning of the planning process for water projects, and involves linking up and integrating element themes. Knowledge of waters particular qualities as a material are needed, and often experiments need to be conducted to give a real idea of the result that will ensure”.

Holt is associated with earthworks or land art. Land art emerged in the 1960s, coinciding with a growing environmental movement in the United States, which asked people to become more aware of the negative impact they can have on nature. Land art changed the way people thought of art; it took art out of the gallery or museum and into the natural landscape, the product of which were huge works engaging elements of the environment. Unlike much of the commercialized art during this time period, land art could not be bought or sold on the art market. Thus, it shifted the perspective of how people all over the world viewed art.
Holt’s works of art often deal with issues of how people perceive time and space. The various monumental works she has created blend with and complement their environment. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Holt
For Smithson, a park exists as “a process of ongoing relationships existing in a physical region”
Smithson became particularly interested in the notion of deformities within the spectrum of anti-aesthetic dynamic relationships which he saw present in the Picturesque landscape. He claimed, “the best sites for ‘earth art’ are sites that have been disrupted by industry, reckless urbanization, or nature’s own devastation”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Smithson

A n d y G o l d s w o r t h y :Goldsworthy regards all his creations as transient, or ephemeral. He photographs each piece immediately after its creation. His goal is to understand nature by directly participating in nature as intimately as he can. He generally works with whatever comes to hand: twigs, leaves, stones, snow and ice, reeds and thorns.
“Movement, change, light, growth and decay are the lifeblood of nature, the energies that I try to tap through my work. I need the shock of touch, the resistance of place, materials and weather, the earth as my source. Nature is in a state of change and that change is the key to understanding. I want my art to be sensitive and alert to changes in material, season and weather. Each work grows, stays, decays. Process and decay are implicit. Transience in my work reflects what I find in nature.”http://www.morning-earth.org/ARTISTNATURALISTS/AN_Goldsworthy.html

C h r i s t o & J e a n - C l a u d e :One hundred fifty-one years ago the City of New York purchased a large piece of land and asked the two landscape architects, Mr. Calvert Vaux and Mr. Fredrick Law Olmsted to design a public park.The park is entirely man-made, all the trees had to be planted, soil was brought, there was only swamps and the rocks which had been pushed in by glaciers billions of years ago.Mr. Vaux and Mr. Olmsted surrounded the park with a stone wall, leaving entrances to the park at each interruption in the wall, where a walkway starts, those entrances are called Gates.Today, there are no gates at those entrances but Mr. Vaux and Mr.Olmsted had planned to install steel gates to lock the park at night.The city hired a designer for those gates, but Mr. Olmsted disliked the complicated design and decided that there would be no closing gates, however the name gates remained.http://www.christojeanneclaude.net/tg.shtml

Process graphics show the steps that were taken to obtain the master plan for the site.Three initial concepts were derived from various influences and ideas.
Concept 1- derived from how the elements of time and human interaction has on natural processes.Concept 2 - derived of the eras of time and how the deconstruction of the site has taken place over the years.Concept 3 - derived from the need for open space and connection with the water instead of a segregation.
Different elements from each concept were combined into one concept that shaped into the master plan.
Combined Concept
A detailed look into the concepts revealed there should be a combination of different elements from each concept.
Derived from how nature and human element has an effect on time and the deconstruction of the land.

WATER CIRCULATION
Water + Play
The water process shown mimics how we should treat water and the efforts to recycle it. Rainwater is collected in order to supply the water features on site. Water from the Bellwood Forest supplies the Biological Cleaning Pond, where water is cleaned for use in the play areas. The water recirculates through several devices and pumps in order to reiterate the importance of water recycling and how Atlanta should treat potable water.
Circulation > Connection
Circulation brings all the features together. The experience of the site is crucial and the path system encompasses those crucial areas to create the experience that is intended.

Shaping and sculpting the land is essential in telling the story of the deconstruction of the site. Manipulating the topography creates a dynamic vertical interest to the horizontal plane.

S e c t i o n E l e v a t i o n
B e l l w o o d F o r e s tWhen entering the Forest Plateau from the beltline the visitor will pass through a display of metal trees located within an old growth forest that marking the threshold for the park at this entrance. These metals trees also illuminate at night to highlight the entryway. Proceeding down the path an old growth (hardwood), Mid-succession(pine/hardwood mix), and young (shrubby and meadow) forest are exposed to the visitor in a terraced format. Each terraced area is separated by a wall of gabions filled with crush and run gravel which was mined from the quarry. Each forested area is sloped inward to expel all rainwater into runnels which flow into the “Chattahoochee,” which is considered the main artery of not only Atlanta’s water source but this site because the water from the reservoir comes from the river. As the visitor travels down the path parallel to the “Chattahoochee,” mounds begin to appear from the young (shrubby/meadow) terrace; the transition from the forest plateau begins to make the transition to the excavation meadow. In a rain event water from the forest plateau will exit the layer through the “Chattahoochee” and cascade over a large brim stone with grooves which expels the water into the excavation meadow.

Upon crossing through the threshold that separates the forest plateau and excavation meadow, the visitor has three options. Left provides access to the amphitheater and lawn. This path cuts through the largest Mesa where large steel plates provide a visual stimulation for the eyes with engraved art work on either side. Following the path further will lead to the amphitheater and lawn space. The amphitheater has ample space for up to 1800-2000 people to enjoy an intimate concert or simply the weather. Access to the Mesa’s lawn is provided through the amphitheater. Right provides access to the parking lot and Lois Street which intersects Marietta Avenue. This path cuts through the second largest mesa, where large steel plates reveal more art work. An urban meadow and wild grass meadow encompass the parking and extend the length of it. If the visitor continues to follow straight, the path leads into a gorge like setting flanked with the two largest mesas on site. The pathway parallels the “Chattahoochee” and leads to the biological cleaning system and the grotto. The grotto contains a water board and educational signage which can educate and reinforce the importance of water to the site. The path encompasses the biological cleaning system and allows visitors to follow the water that exits from the biological cleaning pond through a stream that meanders into a lush grass valley where red cisterns can be seen protruding out of the mesas. The visitor will be lead to the public access pool and have amazing views of the reservoir. If visitors follow the water exiting the public access pool they will enter into the oasis which includes a water pool for relaxation and play. Exiting the oasis visitors will enter the water playground. The Excavation Meadow is parallel to the water playground which is a vast meadow of native grasses that encompass the mesas and parking lot.

The water playground is a unique feature to the site. Bringing water up hill has long been a mystery and fascination to people. With the design of a few devises, water can be easily transferred from the lower pool back to the upper biological cleaning pond. This feature not only solves the mystery of how to bring water up hill but also creates a play environment that is fun for children and adults.

The visitor will be immersed in the expansive lawn when exiting the excavation meadow from the lounge beach. Lush Zoysia grass provides a fantastic play and rest areas. If the visitor continues on the path and takes a right they will enter into the serpent mounds which contain the pipe playground. This area mimics the representation of how water is distributed in Atlanta. Certain pipes have valves that can be controlled by the visitor to regulate the flow of water in the stream bed. The expansive lawn can be seen through the alley ways the serpent mounds create. If the visitor follows the curving expansive lawn from the lounge beach around the serpent mounds a large open lawn is exposed. This lawn can be used for lounging or play. The focal mounds draw your eye and create a unique tree covered focal point. Entering the path that cuts through the mounds revel planted vegetated walls. The pipe threshold is considered to be a major threshold into the park from the surrounding neighborhoods. This unique feature transforms a standard culvert drain pipe into an extraordinary art piece with the serpent mounds encompassing there movement. Plantings engross the mounds and highlight there 3-dimensional quality.

This area focuses on the highlighting of the native environment within the city and native plantings.The existing topography provides points with spectacular views of the entire sight and of the Atlanta skyline. Keeping this area natural reinforces the eco-revelatory design. Seating would be located along the path to encourage visitors to be immersed in nature within the city environment which is rare this close to Atlanta. A board walk would provide an intimate view of the reservoir and plant material that grows in the stone outcrops around the reservoir.
