Water Works

For the development of this major downtown park and visitor building, the client selected the landscape architect as lead consultant, with a team of eleven sub-consultants. The landscape architect led the design effort which celebrates the stories of the site and rehabilitated existing historic structures. Engaging with sub-consultants as diverse as archaeologists and Indigenous linguists, the design communicates a multicultural historic presence. With sustainability at the forefront, reuse of historic structures, relics, remnants, and rainwater are features. As lead consultant, the landscape architect was responsible for directing and managing the design effort, team coordination, communication with funders, public engagement support, document development, cultural interpretation, and construction administration.
