These are some images I've found in magazines lately- some intruiging ideas and forms-

Permeable pavers that could possibly meet code and be consistent with the landscape guidelines for downtown

A gorgeous night-lighting option for the space...

Might be a water feature that the city could agree on- the sound and sight of water with very little surface area with which to get wet- could appease kids' desire to touch the water and not have them enter the buildings dripping wet...

The materials on this Herzog + De Muron rennovation are stunning- might post more on this later, but its simply an exquisite example of honoring historic architecture with a very contemporary treatment and celebration of materials
