Wed Sep 1 17:24:03 EDT 2010 • playscapes Playgrounds in 2024? I'm late getting to this one, but WIRED magazine featured "The Future of Playgrounds" as a speculative scenario in its FOUND series last month. The winning design team members were Anonymous, Ryan Flake, jgombarcik, and Scott. Aaron Rowe was the writer, Daniel Salo the photographer and Joel McKendry designed the blueprint. They seem to see the future as a magnified version of today: safety signage has morphed into a full legal disclamer, the playground is thoroughly 'branded', including at the required sterilization dip tank and the increasing sedentary grown-ups have consigned their strollers to an autonomous track. A grim vision (though tongue-in-cheek, I know). What's yours? Where will playgrounds be in 2024?

Tue Aug 31 10:59:50 EDT 2010 • Landscape+Urbanism Reading List: Topos 71: Landscape Urbanism The conceptual framework of landscape urbanism has evolved from a heady intellectual brew without. In the most recent issue, Topos 71: Landscape Urbanism the topic is first and foremost in the minds of the editors and authors collected within. Featuring essays from the LU stalwarts including Corner, Waldheim, Mostafavi, and Doherty - the content is rounded out with additions from some other voices such as Susannah Drake, Douglas Spencer, and Adriaan Geuze, global perspectives from Kongjian Yu from China and Thorbjörn Andersson from Sweden - amongst others. The issue also includes a profile of the Topos Landscape Award winner for 2010 - Stoss LU, which gives a hint at what landscape urbanism in action can be when it evolves from theory to practice.

Sun Aug 29 23:04:45 EDT 2010 • Landscape+Urbanism Elizabeth Caruthers Park One on the more recent additions to the park inventory in Portland is the neighborhood park for the South Waterfront Area. (see here and here for more on SoWa). The park is named Elizabeth Caruthers Park (after one of the pioneering founders of Portland - on whose original land claim the park now lies) this new addition offers another iteration of the national firm paired with local for park projects. As this site isn't one of those you 'happen to be near and want to swing by', it's been less on the radar than some other visible additions to the Portland landscape, which I will be showing off soon as well.
