A site-specific model for a city park that would be roughly an acre in size at ground level, and would taper inward to recede five to seven stories into the ground. One would enter the park by way of a trail that would run along the edge's perimeter, but there would be no access into its central portion. Without a boundary, the park would become a place to come to terms with and contemplate one's own mortality.
