Mario Violich, FAIA, ASLA and Clover Linné, AIA of Moore Ruble Yudell have authored a landscape campus plan with Claremont McKenna College to incorporate outdoor learning spaces and curate the campus with new art installations.
Surrounded by CMC residence halls, the 250 foot long sinuous work is formed from over 1500 bricks of Venetian glass. The name Qwalala comes from a term the Pomo tribe uses to refer to the meandering path of the Gualala River on the northern coast of California. The sculpture enriches the collection of public art installed on the CMC campus in recent years by contemporary artists.
