Colors and textures swirl like paint strokes. More than 5,000 plants — from Kangaroo Paw Fern and chlorophytum “Ocean” to arboricola “mini green” and philodendron cordatum — form a literal wall of green that rises 30 feet in the air.
Welcome to the Kuehner Court, located in the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts’ new Anabeth and John Weil Hall. With its clean lines, high ceilings and abundant natural light, the court — completed as part of Washington University in St. Louis’ east end project, which will be formally dedicated Oct. 2 — is a welcoming spot for students and faculty to meet, study, relax and recharge.
