Hargreaves Jones

 Hargreaves Jones have been landscape architecture and landscape planning projects since 1983. They have offices in New York, Cambridge and San Fransisco. They create large scale landscapes across the world, mostly in the USA, which are often urban spaces and large areas on the waterfront. They 'approach each project as an opportunity to reveal the unique qualities of a place.' Therefore each design takes a different unique direction beside on the area.

Louisville Waterfront Park, Louisville, Kentucky on Behance

The Louisville Waterfront Park is a large scale project built on the waterfront in Louisville, Kentucky. The site was formerly used for transportation and industry and has now been transformed into a social space that has boosted the areas profile and economy. It is well integrated with the river system and has "recaptured the energy of the early 19th century working waterfront."

This collaborative coming together of individuals is the intention for the Alney Island site. With individuals coming together on site to form a collective for communication, recreation and relaxation.

My next step is to develop the pathways and walking routes through the site before I take it into CAD to be drawn and then rendered.

Walking down the Honeybourne Line

Image
 I regularly walk down the Honeybourne Line in Cheltenham as I head to and from the train station. Specifically the section between the station and the Churchill Gardens. As the year change the walk through the space changes as the plants lose and regain their leaves. When walking back today in the sun, the space looked the best I have seen it. Hemlock, Horse chestnut and nettle were all in full swing creating a bold green wall.
