This urban plaza is part of a larger catalytic and placemaking initiative at the heart of Frederick, Maryland's Arts and Entertainment District. The curving open air stone bench is designed to foster conversation. A fan array of art glass panels etched with images and text explores the history of the crossroads at the center of the city of Frederick's historic and cultural districts. Viewers looking into the cast glass well head at the center of the exedra will see shining water running underground. Bronze bands bonded to glass and embedded in the plaza pavers radiate from the glass well. Thousands of letters cut through the bronze bands express dreams gathered from residents of all ages. The lettering illuminates the plaza at night, and light emanates from between the stone pavers of plaza. An audio spotlighting feature allows the fragmentary sounds of the historic streetscape to be audible in certain areas of the plaza. Designed by Cochran in collaboration with architect Jim Mills.
