Fin Community Bridge
Fin Alternative with Constellation Pattern Wall
The Fin Alternative features a geometric and angular pier configuration with clean, simple lines that is a contemporary rein-terpretation of Post-WWII octagonal freeway piers.
This alternative is matched with the Constellation Wall Pattern for the cast-in-place and/or MSE panel retaining walls and noise walls. The abstract, organic pattern is drawn from celestial imag-ery and the North Star and the incised spiraling forms have great forward move-ment and energy.
The Fin Pier Ramp completes this family of compatible elements.

Scenario #1Significant Factors/Opportunities Major civic place for southwestern sub-urbs; access predominantly by automo-bile; stoplight to be added along withi m p roved pedestrian access at entranceon Gammon Road; main parking area incenter of park near entrance; park shelterand amenities nearby, next to pond
C o n c e p t E n h a n c e d e n t ry area to w e l c o m evisitors; the park shelter re p resents thehuman cultural element within the land-scape, so artwork is situated in relation to it
L o c a t i o n ( s ) Pedestrian/vehicular entranceat Gammon Road; or pond near park shelter; or intersection of paved walking/biking path at the foot of the south ridgenear the park shelter which will becomep a rt of the Ice Age Trail in the future
Case Study #1 Opportunities — Creating a Scenario for Public Art Elver Park on Southern Edge of Madison
Prototype for Large Scale Sites and Environmental Settings
Scenario #2Significant Factors/Opportunities Park occupies two glacial ridges and a valley between; water is substantial partof the park including retention pond,s t reams and wetlands
Concept Recognizing and highlightingp a r k ’s important natural features; occasionfor environmental education, especiallyre g a rding the value and function of wet-lands and protecting the watershed
Location(s) Along watercourse in valley,beginning with pond a n d utilizing wetlands
Scenario #3Significant Factors/Opport u n i t i e s R i d g et o p a ff o rd s a n i m p ressive view o f M a d i s o ns k y l i n e ; v i e w p o i n t f o s t e r s u n d e r s t a n d i n gof the city’s unique position in the land-scape; old growth red pine grove andremnant prairie

Location At top of southern ridge, facingn o rtheast toward the State Capitol, in mid-dle of meadow with Big bluestem andother native grasses and flowers
Note: In practice, the following scenarios wouldbe the result of an extended dialogue amongcity staff, neighborhood residents, artists,
designers and other strategic partners. The scenarios are offered here by the authors of the Framework only as examples of possible
outcomes, and to be a catalyst for further discussion. See Case Study #4 for a completeoutline of this step, including documentation of
