Integrated Public ArtWaste Receptacles• Evolution of “Euclid Avenue”
The Euclid Avenue of the Future is being described as “Cleveland’s SMART STREET.” With this notion as a starting point, Mark Howard uses the nearly ubiquitous computer-generate “trash”’ symbols as a decorative treatment to waste receptacles along the corridor. The “garbage” cans will appear along Euclid Avenue in the pedestrian areas. They will be laser cut stainless steel with a removable lid.
