Gravity Balls

5/19/2010 Uncategorized

While on design reviews at the University of Virginia, I had time to visit one of the most instructive pieces of urbanism in North America – Thomas Jefferson’s Lawn – important to our practice because of the careful weaving of public, private, and service space.  On this trip, I was reminded of the clever hardware on the garden gates – gravity balls that keep the gates closed.
