An artful swirl of cobble and soothworn river rock assembled for the opening of Rendezvous Park along the Snake River in Jackson Hole served as a project for Remote Studio students as well as a muse for place-based thinking. It also serves as a venue where visitors can reflect on the elements of "natural architecture" present in the Snake River corridor. In the end, part of the installation, ephemeral by design, will over time be reclaimed by the river during high water—a reminder that long-lasting lessons can be imparted without having to be memorialized by permanent human construction.
