SPECIAL FEATURE

78 Peter Walker’s Point
Peter Walker, FASLA, and PWP Landscape Architecture have transformed a runway-sized shipping terminal in Sydney into the Barangaroo Reserve, a lush cascade of terraces and open space that resurrects a headland erased long ago. More than 50 pages of photos, drawings, and details show the park’s many interlocking features—such as the stepped foreshore, sinuous paths through dense gardens, and a colossal public interior space—lodged atop an epic array of site-hewn sandstone that connects directly back to the city.
By Gweneth Leigh, ASLA

111 A Hyperlocal Soil Recipe
115 Seventy-five Thousand Plants

By Timothy A. Schuler

A review of Ruth Shellhorn by Kelly Comras.

    Repost from @nationalasla "Sometimes places are palimpsests, meaning part of the brick and mortar, and some of them are based in memories, the passing of time. For people of color who are marginalized, stories get lost." Designer Walter Hood speaks: http://bit.ly/3t59o8j
