The indigenous Native American Mound Builders of the Detroit River area framed the concept for the competition design. The proposed design for the riverfront site introduced mound-like circular two acre programmed landscape spaces and architectural elements. All new design elements respected the existing designs by famed sculptor Isamu Noguchi.
