Sited within an alley of trees surrounded by the modernist architecture of the Purchase campus, Belvedere offers a refuge. The urns turned on their sides spilling flowers to the ground serve as benches. They afford a view down the alley to the great lawn. Belvedere is both a play on and with nature.
