Landscape Pin Up: With Jason King

Current Site Plan I was finally able to start fleshing out the Boardwalk/ Swale Idea that is being used in my project as the continuity between the modes of transit and acts as this piece of infrastructure that future building can plug into. &nbsp… […]

Structure

My design is something of a triptych, three variations on a theme– in language, form, material, and structure.

Combining the rooftop with a park /mechanical equipment zone was also an […] […]
