Phoenix-based artist, Al Price was selected to join the King County Solid Waste Division and consultant HDR as a design team member for the new Factoria Recycling and Transfer Station in Bellevue, WA.
The new Factoria Recycling & Transfer Station is a redevelopment and expansion of the existing transfer station, which was built over 40 years ago and has outgrown its current capacity. As an anchor in the regional waste stream system, the new station will continue to provide a full range of mixed municipal solid waste disposal and will also offer recycling services.
Al Price is a sculptor fascinated by motion. He is known for interior kinetic sculptures and recent public projects that appear to twist, turn, and locomote with the moving viewer. With each design, Price strives to deal with material and form in significant, inventive and economical ways. Price recently completed projects for the new Sky Harbor Rental Car Center, the Arizona State University Foundation and Valley Metro Rail, Inc., and is currently working on a sculpture for the new Minnesota Twins Stadium in Minneapolis. Price was selected from a short-list of 41 artists from the new 4Culture Artist Registry Vol VI.
