New York project to be led by Netherland-based landscape architect Adriann Geuze

Working with the National Park Service, New York City has unveiled plans to transform Governor’s Island into a park linked by ferry to the city. Like the city’s founders, the project’s chief designer will be Dutch—landscape architect Adriann Geuze.

Hong Kong proposal for Director of Landscape Architecture

The bureau said the creation of a chief landscape architect post in the Architectural Services Department will serve as a focal point for meeting the operational needs of enhancing greening efforts. It will also provide the level of expertise required to interface with key stakeholders, to pursue long-term greening objectives.

<< AILA WA President in the news

"Perth needs to move away from the American streetscape design, heavily influenced by car use, and adopt a European pedestrian-friendly approach with a focus on creating welcoming and vibrant village centres."

<<  Claim back the city - Bury Central Station!
