"I entered the Buffalo Bayou Park Cistern—a decommissioned water reservoir repurposed for public tours and art installations since 2016—and was struck by its scale (about 87,500 square feet), the 8–12 inch layer of water that must be kept for the concrete, the absence of natural light, and the way sound carries (voices can reverberate for up to 17 seconds); it's an awe-inspiring, sensory-altering venue that continues to host site-specific artwork and tours." - Kayla S.
