ok, charles anderson did the olympic sculpture park... the prize going to weiss manfredi w/ consultant team is trash
That's not really true. They may have been more equal partners than "wm + consulatants" suggests, but to suggest the opposite is at least equally false.
sweet my apartment building won a prize =D
does it seem strange that 6 projects in the bay area won, when the ASLA expo is going to be in the moscone this fall?
holz/begnier- got any more details of who did what on the olympic park? I've seen marion weiss's presentation on the project and know her work - so plannning and the big moves seem to be her's, but the actual plants and materials are ?
bregnier-
i wasn't trying to imply that it was all charles anderson, even though it came out that way. but wm+consultants is a cop out, and never would have happened if GGN or PWP did the "plantings"
i've seen both weiss/manfredi + charles anderson give talks on the project.
marion weiss's in 2004/5 - when some friends and i talked to her afterwards, she was more than willing to talk about the collaboration with charles anderson. it looks like that's all changed - not that i'm all that surprised.
tree, here's a recent write-up for ya
