Erie Street Plaza is a flexible social space that can accommodate large gatherings and day-to-day activities, built on sustainable design principles. It is one of a series of public space activators along the Milwaukee Riverwalk, a three-mile pedestrian and bicycle corridor that connects downtown Milwaukee to the emerging and redeveloping Third Ward and Beerline Districts, and to the lakefront beyond.
In early 2010, the landscape architect was asked to design the Mei Flower Garden in Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province, particularly for the appreciation of the Mei Flower, also known as the Plum Blossom, arguably the most appreciated flower in Chinese culture. For over two thousand years, scholars have put in ink hundreds and thousands of poems and paintings appreciating this particular flower.
The design inventively integrates sustainable stormwater, material, and lighting strategies; it reorients downtown to the riverfront and creates a flexible space for civic gatherings; and frames opportunities for new development while creating an entirely new image for the City of Green Bay. In addition, CityDeck was designed to withstand a 100 year flood.
Fruit of the agricultural power of Sant Fruitós during the second half of the nineteenth century, in the early 1950s, the Municipal Agrarian Chamber built the shed to protect the Beating Machine, located at that time in the outskirts of the urban core.

This project has two main objectives: one of connectivity, achieving the continuity of this global green ring recognizing the main visuals about the city and Montserrat mountain, and generating a sequence of areas of stay; and a second of landscape and biodiversity recovery, establishing the necessary elements to generate a new dynamic in the place that progressively improves its environmental conditions through the profit of water.
Urban planning for Sant Cugat del Vallès Central Park focuses on two main themes: a central strip which contains the green zone and protects the stream and the road’s adjustment and construction considering the place’s morphology. Hence, the park’s design takes into account the small valley’s topography on which it stands, its agricultural character and the strong social pressure that its future urban immersion entails.
Igualada Central Park will be the largest free space in the city and will give continuity to the Green Belt, linking the urban area with the natural surroundings of the stream. This project is an interesting example of how by concentrating interventions at strategic points and thinking about a sustainable construction and maintenance system, a space without identity has been transformed into a new multipurpose space at the service of citizens.

Carve connects the three planned playzones by introducing an iconic ‘air bridge’, that is oriented in the opposite direction to the path system below. Because a large part of the playzone is elevated, as little space as possible is absorbed by the playzones, hence introducing an interesting interaction between the playing children and people who take a stroll underneath the object.

The spectacular scale of this site – regarding both the height of the terril as well as its industrial heritage – is unique in the relatively flat surrounding landscape of Limburgian-Flanders. The intervention is a landmark on a large scale, but through its playable character it also reflects the small scale of a child. The values of the industrial heritage have been a continuous leading theme in the design process that resulted in an unprecedented playscape. Photo: Hannah Schubert

Public life in Singapore is organized differently than in Europe. Because of the humid climate and strong UV radiation, people prefer to be in a shady and sheltered place. For this reason indoor (shopping) centers are very popular for leisure activities. That is why large lily-shaped play trees that provide shade are central to the design of this playground.
