This interdisciplinary project is trying to foster a continuous identity along the stretch of the 48 miles Chattahoochee River National Water Trail. Fishing, kayaking and other water activities are the main reasons for residents to use the waterway. There are 16 major boat launches and numerous smaller launching points exist along this waterway. This infrastructure design is trying to regulate the launching points with similar materials and colors to foster a regional identity, reduce the water pollution and erosion impact of upland human activities with layered filtration system, and provide a sense of arrival and a space that support layers of human activities.
