Conference Center Detail

There may be few individuals or professionals that would call a storm water drain inlet art and I think I'm about to join that group.  A week ago I was taking time to stop and smell the rain while I checked out this classy storm drain on a plaza at the Conference Center in Salt Lake City.  The design is simple, repetitive and after more than 10 years + from the install it still looks great.  I did notice that there were plenty of leaves down in the inlet, but you would have to look closely to see them and water was moving just fine.  I love the repetition of the basic geometry, simple shapes tied together make a nice detail for the granite paver plaza.
