In contemporary practice, projects are often implemented through “streamlined” delivery processes, often less familiar to landscape architects. Additionally, client structures have become more complex. Through a case study on Constitution Gardens, we will dive into both the benefits and challenges of these complex structures to deliver a world-class project.

Learning Outcomes:

Understand the challenges and opportunities within complex structures to deliver a world-class project.
Understand the differences between different client and ownership structures.
Understand the progressive design build process.
Understand the challenges and opportunities in renovating a historically significant landscape.
