Overview

Hargreaves Associates has been on the forefront of landscape architectural practice since its founding in 1983, creating a narrative approach to landscape architecture that layers history, ecology, and environmental phenomena. The built work of Hargreaves Associates privileges the cultural construction of meaning through dynamic, interactive and exultant landscape. Whether reductive or rich, highly programmed or passive, culturally interpretive or teeming with the phenomena of nature's own systems, the built landscapes of Hargreaves Associates seek the power of connection to our day-to-day lives. This volume will present projects from throughout the 25 year history of the firm, showing the development of work from early days in practice to its current direction creating new visions for public space. The book will show Hargreaves Associates' role in advancing the re-occupation of post-industrial sites, reclaiming waterfronts across the US, with additional examples in Europe and Australia, as well as their work developing the significance of cultural landscapes over time, their contributions to urban parks, smaller plazas and gardens, and their innovative entries to recent landscape architectural competitions.
