Designer: Peter Linday Schaudt Landscape Architect
The Landscape architect originally specified concrete planters to run
around the perimeter of the original stadium structure, and added Planter
Technology's modular container irrigation system. However, to save weight
and cost, they had us custom fabricate decorative planters with the
watering system built into the walls. Each planter consists of a pedestal
unit below, and a lightweight polyethylene planter with integrated container
irrigation. There are over 200 planters on this project, and the maintenance
contractor is currently refilling the reservoirs every two weeks in
the height of the Chicago summer.
