Makes You Want to Sit Outside
September 10, 2007For a relatively young firm (founded by James Corner in 1998), Field Operations has worked all over the world with an impressive list of architects including Gehry, Holl, Ten Arquitectos, Eisenman, Foster, Diller & Scofidio, and more... not to mention all of the work they have done on their own.
Field Operations' work encompasses a wide variety of scales and typologies, from small city gardens to large urban plans.

Chuncheon G5 Urban Plan and Botanical Garden, Korea
French Embassy Garden, New York

Royal Canal Linear Park, DublinI haven't actually had the opportunity to visit any of their projects, but the images they create make me want to jump right in. In landscape design, even more than architecture, I think its extremely important to convey the intended experience. These digital collages are so impressive at telling exactly the right story, you can completely understand the proposed sensory qualities of the projects. [And as we all know, I'm a sucker for collage work.]
Many of the projects have such fabulous graphic and linear expressions on paper... I really wish that I could visit the sites and understand these large moves at the human scale. Maybe I'll have to visit New York when the High Line is completed!
