Cormier's spirited approach to public projects offers a soothing salve in year three of our global pandemic. Sassy, at times even campy, Cormier's designs deploy joy not as decoration, but as a provocation. This new publication asks how we might reclaim fun at a time when we seriously need it. --Landscape Architecture Magazine
