When designing the park, [Diller Scofidio](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canal-cafe) + Renfro focused on providing areas with vantage points and ones that promoted sociability. For example, The Tide features [areas that are dotted with artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/what-goes-around-bandstand) — from the recognizable sculptural aesthetic of Damien Hirst to "Antony Gormley's 1999 Quantum Cloud."
