Burns Park
Burns Park contains a collection of large-scale architectonic sculpture,
many from the 1968 Denver Sculpture Symposium. Mundus Bishop’s master for the redesign
of Burns Park reestablishes this underutilized open space into a celebration of
recreation and art, connecting the park to the regional path system and
embracing ‘art as experience.’ The
design integrates the established sculptures with a new park composition of
integrated paths, topography, views, gathering places, activities, and play
areas. New sculpture embraces the notion that art is a living thing that is
changeable, and encourages visitors and neighborhood users to actively engage with
the park’s elements.
