Focused Calm
“I’m in awe. Landscape architects are not used to such attention.”
– Peter Walker, winner of the American Society of Landscape Architects Medal.
Objective: Examine the new $634 million dollar facilities and landscaping at one of the most sophisticated medical institutions on the planet.
Strategy: Learn about minimal art, classical French gardens and “the opposite of Architecture” from the leading landscape architect in the world, Peter Walker—also an extraordinary teacher. Follow futuristic materials handling robots (almost as cute as R2D2) as they beep their way through underground tunnels. Use a steadicam to animate museum quality interiors with the power of peripheral vision.
