Clark Thenhaus, of Endemic Architecture has shared with Arch Daily his design for a gateway to the Indianapolis Art Center. While the project has been canceled, we felt the design was still worth sharing to our readers. Follow after the break for additional renderings, diagrams and a description from the architect.

Historically, the concept of a gateway had much to do with one of three threshold typologies…the monumental, the iconic, or the natural. The Median Berms proposal for the Indianapolis Art Center exploit the existing site and infrastructural conditions to create a gateway with elements of the three historic gateway typologies. The monumental, the iconic, and the natural are hybridized through scale, geometry, and landscape creating over-scaled field sculptural berms.
