Cleveland Design Competition Weblog

In parallel with February 16th's announcement of the competition jurors, Cleveland artist Don Harvey will discuss his documentation of the natural history of Cleveland's Flats at the Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative (space is limited). In May 2006, with Cleveland Public Art, Harvey photographed the unexpected wildlife in the industrial valley. The result, "The Natural Flats: A Field Guide to Habitat in Unexpected Places," consists of a self-guided tour of Flats' natural landscapes accompanied by photographs and writings by the region's leading naturalists.

Visit the Natural Flats page on the competition website (www.clevelandcompetition.com/naturalflats.html) for a preview of Harvey's work and obtain the tour guide at the following locations: Cleveland Public Art, CanalWay Center, Cleveland Museum of Natural History.
