A General Service Administration commission for the new, 37-story Henry M. Jackson Federal Building in downtown Seattle, Noguchi’s ensemble of five Japanese granite stones, Landscape of Time, was placed in a setting of herringbone-patterned brick. A combination of standing and reclining stones reconciles both the proportions of the bays of the Federal Building entrance and the height of the surrounding buildings with a more human, experiential scale.
