From a 4th-floor window, I noticed that the lower roof at the A-school had an interesting pattern of mounded gravel. Why? I assume that they mounded the gravel in order to spread it evenly over the roof. But this "landscape" also calls to mind one that Maya Lin designed at the University of Michigan, entitled "Wave Field." She asked scientists at the University for references about aerodynamics and fluid mechanics, and came across an image of a standing wave, which she translated into this landscape.
