“The Hargreaves Associates proposal looks the best to me. It seems to have the greatest variety in use of space, concentrating on the different tree species, grasses, ecological zones, and other natural elements, combined with spaces for walking, sitting, contemplating, etc. I particularly like the overhead curling trellis, and their concept of "episodic archaeology". It also seems the most practical and doeable plan, while also providing several unique elements not currently seen in the city (e.g. pine barrens, water wall, overhead trellis, etc.). Great plan!”
