SITE
The site chosen in Cincinnati, Ohio is an area of approximately one square mile east of the downtown, and west of the Mt. Adams prominence, with the Ohio River on the southern edge and Liberty Street on the north. Within this site are the courthouse, post office, barge canal, houses, office buildings, concert hall, light manufacturing, highway interchanges, vineyards, scrapyards, and parks. Nine locations within the site articulate specific urban instances whose characters are analogous to the hazards, endpoints and organs of the golf course and steel works. They are publicly accessible. The six sites crossed with Golf Course and Steel Works lie at the intersections of three lines of hazards.

1: observatory, monastery, and office building        digging
2:   river’s edge, in the river                               measuring
3: highway ramps, skateboarder’s dream                melting
4:   park at river’s edge train track                       pouring
5: park with a statue of Lincoln and tunnel cooling
6: corporate headquarters and gardens                   heating
7: boulevard with canal and highway                        rolling
8:   courthouse and jail                           fabricating
9: residential block with highway ramp                    recycling
