Working with "givens"... <br />Some elements of the design theme might offer the <br />opportunity to make use of past work that was less <br />than effective -- bringing reason to elements that <br />might not otherwise fit (or even be desirable). <br />Memory, discovery, whimsy... <br />Elements of the design theme must be memorable, <br />maybe being fully discovered ("seen") only after <br />they have been viewed several times. Some ele- <br />ments might be more memorable -- and more <br />enjoyable -- if they are treated in a more light- <br />hearted manner_ <br />Appropriateness... <br />"Unique" is not always the best answer; some- <br />times the strongest solution will be found in what <br />is most "appropriate" -- that which could only hap- <br />pen here in Mounds View. <br />"Gateway"... <br />Some of the best gateways announce a community <br />with ideas that speak without words; even when <br />words are used, they are sometimes most appropri- <br />ate as a small part of the message. <br />identity... <br />An identity cannot be created through a design <br />theme; the design theme can only reinforce an <br />identity that already exists. The process must <br />bring out the community's true identity for a <br />design theme to be meaningful. <br />D N S <br />D E R <br />WELCOME TO MOUNDS VIEW Y <br />FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION <br />JILLY 2 =4 <br />'-er <br />A T 1 D <br />�*�Bva <br />Seeker SLuare <br />Bockcr, Minnesota <br />Mississip �i Riyexwaik- <br />Elk River, Minnesota <br />Larpenteur Avenue <br />Falcon Heights, Minnesota <br />Gateway Corridor <br />Champlin, Minnesota <br />Larpenteur Avenue Streetscape <br />Falcon Heights, Minnesota <br />H i h w a y 10 Corridor Design Theme ®e H«isington Koegler Group Enc. <br />City of Mounds View, Minnesota <br />
