Fluidity <strong>Design</strong><br />
Short Pump Town Center<br />
Richmod, Virgina<br />
68<br />
Short Pump Town Center, a long-established and successful open-air retail<br />
development in Richmond, Virginia, has been recently renov<strong>at</strong>ed. One aspect of the<br />
remodeling was the cre<strong>at</strong>ion of an engaging ‘stream’ th<strong>at</strong> flows through one of<br />
the project’s pedestrian arteries. The stream is both an environmental amenity and<br />
an instructional space. Orvis, a sports-oriented retail outlet, teaches visitors<br />
fly-fishing techniques within the w<strong>at</strong>er fe<strong>at</strong>ure’s flowing river context. Environmentally<br />
friendly engineering systems support fish living in pools formed by hewn granite<br />
boulders. A series of pools shaped by bold, minimal blocks carry the w<strong>at</strong>er from its<br />
source. Vibrant aqu<strong>at</strong>ic plants contrast with the granite, while playful<br />
compositions of sculptured stepping stones enhance each of the larger pools<br />
with textured forms.
