An ink and coloured pencil design on paper dated July 30. Although no year is given, it is possible that it was drawn up early in the project. The drawing shows roads (or pathways) leading off the number 4 office block; this road intersects with the new yellow pathway which Page introduced as a way for visitors on foot to navigate the grounds.
This large-scale project at the world headquarters of PepsiCo Inc. was Page’s last major undertaking. From 1980 until his death in 1985, he made frequent visits to the site in Westchester County, 25 miles north of New York City, working largely on designs to harmonise the company’s substantial collection of outdoor sculptures with the landscaped parkland.
