  11. Martha Schwartz PartnersHUD Plaza ImprovementsWashington DC, USA Concept: Creating a social space despite inability to plant trees because of underground parking. Also to create “habitable and pleasant spaces for people.” Achieved this by creating concrete planters of grass that also serve as seating, white “lifesaver-shaped” canopies that are eye-catching. The “canopies and planters appear to float above the ground.” Lighting also gives “identity to the plaza” mimicking Japanese lanterns on a garden path. Lighting is also used under planters to make them appear as if they were floating. Objectives: Provides several social lawn spaces for gathering as well as shaded plaza areas. The lighting at night creates a unique atmosphere (landmark) as well as helps with safety issues. The canopies also serve as art pieces. MSP : Martha Schwartz Partners.

  12. Francisco MangadoPlaza de DaliMadrid, Spain Concept: Turned this poorly paved area into a “complex urban space.” Due to the structure underground planting was an issue. Created “framed spaces” that give a cozy scale to the area. The raised areas are filed with soil and contain urban furniture pieces creating a “welcoming living area”. Lighting is seen as a main element giving shape to the area. Objectives: Provides several social lawn spaces for gathering as well as general plaza areas. Brings green space into the city and creates a space to plant. Uses pre-existing elements, lighting used from parking garage below. "Plaza De Dali." FRANCISCO MANGADO.
