Water Map details a section of the Delaware River watershed surrounding the Friends’ Central School. When it rains, the map carries water through the carved runnels, creating a watershed in miniature. With curved benches sandblasted with images of microorganisms from the waterways, the terrace serves as an outdoor classroom and gathering space.
