Margie Ruddick/WRT landscape architects, Marpillero Pollack Architects (MPA) and Leni Schwendinger, Queens Plaza, Queens, New York, due for completion 2009 Opposite and above: This project will reorganise a confusing fragmented site where several elevated trains, subways and roadways collide with residential neighbourhoods and commercial services by adding new seating, lighting shelters, pathways, hydrology and plantings that will create a sense of place architects is working with Marpillero Pollack Architects (MPA) and lighting artist Leni Schwendinger. They are adding new lighting, seating, shelter, paths, water and plants to tie everything together and create a sense of place. MPA is also doing a number of small urban interventions, such as landscapes around libraries and recreation areas at housing projects. And Diana Balmori has formed a partnership with her Yale teaching colleague, architect Joel Sanders, to do projects that cross traditional interdisciplinary lines. Balmori believes that landscape now has better tools to communicate with the public at large than was the case in the past. She thinks models, which can represent buildings effectively, are poor tools for landscape, especially the kind she wants to create. ‘It is really space at a bigger scale than architecture. We are using dot matrix so that we can dissolve the objects more in order to talk about space. I want to dissolve the landscape so that it becomes what is contained, not the container.’ She also likes to use animation because ‘whatever you do in the landscape is changing constantly’. The system of floating islands Balmori has designed for the St Louis waterfront, near Eero Saarinen’s Gateway Arch will change not only with the seasons but with the movement of the river itself. The project is intended to extend the park where the arch is located up and down the river, connect it with the land across the Mississippi River in Illinois, and create places for gatherings and active recreation, such as a skating rink, restaurant and excursion boats, as well as pedestrian access to the river. It also resurrects history, if unwittingly. After proposing the floating islands, which resemble some of Johanson’s works, Balmori saw some of the drawings Saarinen had submitted to win the competition over half a century ago that her colleagues had resurrected at Yale, and in one of those unpublished, unknown drawings there were walkways and islands like those she had envisioned. History plays a different role in landscape architecture than in building or even urban design. As Smith notes, it is a longterm enterprise: ‘When a piece of architecture is completed, it begins its decline. When a piece of landscape architecture is done, it is just beginning. It takes time to grow a landscape.’ 4 Text © 2007 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

Toronto Waterfront Revitalisation Sean Stanwick, the co-author with Jennifer Flores of a new defining book on Toronto – Design City Toronto, published by John Wiley & Sons – describes how West 8 and Canadian practice du Toit Allsopp Hillier (DTAH) are reviving the city’s engagement with its waterfront. Could the lakeshore scheme be aspiring to a new waterside on a par with those of its North American neighbours such as New York and Chicago?
