Basically it's a walk through a medieval town/city up to a castle at the end, with architecture perhaps growing more modern as it goes. I think it'll start out on the end of a path leading to the city, go through the lower part of the town (since this would be where the 'common' people live, it'll be more basic and older styles of houses, perhaps even the first somewhat breaking down-the dystopia we need), then through the upper (with slightly nicer and more modern houses/buildings and where the hold out houses might go), and finally to the (more futuristic) castle, which would be the building that could be entered (probably the entrance hall at least). I'd like to have a town square and maybe some interesting statues around as well, and between either the lower and upper parts of town or the upper part and the castle I want to put a drawbridge over a river to incorporate that part of Reno, and maybe have some of the buildings inspired by Reno's skyline. Those are my basic ideas at least.
The locative art piece I chose is called 'Walk the Solar System' by Louise O'Connor. In order to show the vastness of the solar system, she installed a walkable scale model, wherein each planet was 'held' inside a shop and visitors asked the shopkeepers to be shown the planet. This installation was in London in 2010.
