With North towards the top of the plan, this site plan allowed for the planting of evergreens on the North side of the site and Deciduous trees along the current line of trees that is along Boyston to the West. Small patches of grass to match the pattern of the plaza area with some minor yews would provide relief from summer heat.
It has always been the vision of the plaza area to be a breathing space. A space for presentation of music or art while at the same time be able to collect rainwater and drain to the gray water storage facility under the building for reuse in toilet flushing. Further use could be for higher levels, to water the extensive green roof which occupies all roof spaces except the exhibition room of the first floor.
On the interior of the building at the first floor would be an aeration water wall for providing oxygen to the water year round and especially in the summer to add humidity to the natural internal ventilation system.
