Carlsbad public art enthusiast was recently asked to reimagine the Carlsbad Power Plant Smokestack as a piece of public art to be published in the latest Carlsbad Magazine.
Day Image: Water pumped up the inside of, and overflowing over, the top of the smokestack. The constant trickle of water down the exterior cylinder of the smokestack would reflect the ever-changing colors of the Carlsbad sky, ultimately concluding each day in the colors of a magnificent sunset.
Night Image: Static imagery, or animated presentations, would be projected on the exterior smokestack one night every month. These monthly light-project presentations would encourage community gathering and the development of culture.
Open space would be at the base of the smokestack and would serve as a buffer between the public art stack and the surrounding commercial/residential space.
What do you think?

Love the colors.
Great design Bryan but I still have concerns about earthquake safety (and the cost to retrofit it). I think it would be safer to tear it down and start over.
