While the roof plaza is a generous
space, it is the Cascade plaza that is the heart of the whole
composition. Tying together the four
levels of the Ceramics Park, the plaza uses stairs to
connect the different levels as water trickles down sloping
walls to pools lined with different color stone slabs that
mimic the variety of clays found in the region. The vertical
surfaces that define the plaza vary from light to dark, the
former facing south to illuminate that space, while the latter
has a variety of treatments,
including the ubiquitous tile as well as a waffle-like grid
of open cells.
