ASLA Selects 38 Award-Winning Projects

The American Society of Landscape Architects on April 9 announced the 38 recipients of its 2007 Professional Awards, selected by jury from more than 500 entries. ASLA will present the awards on October 8 at their annual meeting in San Francisco. For photos and descriptions of all the winners, visit ASLA’s Web site. Pictured here is Olympic Sculpture Park, a Design Award winner by architects Weiss/Manfredi Architecture/Landscape/Urbanism, with landscape architect Charles Anderson Landscape Architecture, for the Seattle Art Museum. This project has the distinction of being sited on Seattle’s last undeveloped waterfront property–an industrial brownfield site sliced by train tracks and an arterial road. The design connects three separate sites with an uninterrupted Z–shaped “green” platform, descending 40 feet from the city to the water, and rising back over existing infrastructure.
