Gratefish Storm Drain Location Conceptual Design Firm Mauk Design Client Grate Drains Design Team Mitchell Mauk,Laurence Raines Fabricators Ariston
	This design for San Francisco's streets was meant to solve the ongoing problem of people dumping automobile oil into the storm drains and polluting San Francisco Bay. Stenciled warnings near existing drains, the designer felt, need constant maintenance and to little to deter people who already know they shouldn't dump. The proposed grate, shaped like a fish, would graphically challenge people by making their dirty deed concrete: dumping oil on a fish.
