Granite City, Illinois. A vacant site that sits blocks from US Steel's headquarters teems with native plants and insects, manages stormwater, and juxtaposes the built — and subsequently unbuilt — landscape with the unexpected: ecological function and design. This intervention by Studio Land Arts is supplemented by signage I designed to alert the casual or attentive visitor to what has been activated here in relationship to stormwater, native plants, pollinators, and habitat. The signs were installed in May 2018.
