Participants were asked to submit a 20′ x 20′ mural, on a wall slated
for demolition. We reinterpreted the parameters as Architects by
creating a real “trompe l’oeil”, a physical, three-dimensional
experience. Using discarded pallets, we proposed a “living wall”. In the
cavities of the pallets we imagined plants and soil creating a
microclimate, while providing an opportunity for community participation
and growth; a primary goal for NbPAC. Between the existing wall and
the new wall a change in the texture of the ground reinforce the
three-dimensional experience. The visitor is sandwiched between the
decay of one structure and the potential for growth and development in
another.
