Growth for Tomorrow at 100 Altair pays homage to the past while simultaneously looking toward the future. The east elevations are planted with a vibrant color palette representing the stone fruit orchards which once grew throughout Sunnyvale. This agricultural beginning was paramount to Silicon Valley’s early economic success and growth.  The purple Oxalis ‘plum crazy’ representing plums, Heuchera ‘Georgia Peach’, peaches and Heuchera ‘Ginger Ale’, apricots. This colorful, playful palette is also meant to connect the installation to the adjacent park where people from all backgrounds gather to eat and play. In contrast, the west elevations are refined to only lush shades of green including the California native Licorice Fern, Hay Scented Fern and chartreuse wispy highlights of the Japanese Forest Grass. The contrasting verdant nature of the west elevations are meant to represent future growth for tomorrow. This duality will be most apparent within the interstitial space where the viewer is flanked by the two contrasting palettes. Figuratively, this space represents the present; looking into the future on one side and back to the past on the other. It is a reminder that whether it is from an economic or a well-being perspective civilization must continue to embrace plant life to continue to prosper, especially in the built environment.
