3. 01 Introduction George Hargreaves  (born November 12, 1952) is a landscape architect.   Under his design direction, the work of his firm has received numerous national awards and has been published and exhibited nationally and internationally.   He was an artist in residence at the American Academy of Rome in 2009.   Hargreaves and his firm designed numerous sites including the master plan for the  Sydney 2000 Olympics ,  The Brightwater Waste Water Treatment Facility  in Seattle, Washington, and  University of Cincinnati Master Plan . 3

4. 01 Introduction Hargreaves Jones has been at the forefront of landscape architecture and planning since 1983 and is globally renowned for the transformation of urban sites. The firm’s exceptional work has been widely exhibited, published, and recognized by over 100 national and international awards, including the Cooper Hewitt National Design Award and the Rosa Barba International Landscape Prize. There offices in New York City, San Francisco, and Cambridge work collectively, united by a belief in the power of expressive and responsive design to create enduring landscapes for communities, institutions, and individuals.    Fueled by rigorous investigation, they’r work engages dynamic site systems and cultural forces, with the intention of setting landscapes into motion – always evolving and adaptable.   4

5. 02 Design philosophy They approach each project as an opportunity to reveal the unique qualities of a place: whether amplifying the natural phenomena of a site, expressing historic narratives, transforming infrastructural impediments into public realm opportunities, or encouraging individual interpretation and discovery.  Above all, we seek to foreground landscape, as the essential foundation for civic and environmental resilience. Their design philosophy centers on connection; the connection between culture and the environment, and between the land and its people. The Discovery Green design in  Houston , Texas exemplifies this philosophy.

6. 03 Nature of projects handled: Parks and Public Spaces:   Hargreaves Associates has designed numerous parks and public spaces, including the award-winning Olympic Sculpture Park in Seattle, the Louisville Waterfront Park in Kentucky, and the Shanghai Houtan Park in China.   Olympic Sculpture Park   Seattle The Louisville Waterfront Par k Kentucky The Shanghai Houtan Park China 6

10. 04 EXAMPLE- South Pointe Park

11. South Pointe Park Location:   Miami Beach, Florida, USA . Area :19 Acres Architect : Hargreaves Jones Landscape Architect : Hargreaves Associates Local Landscape Architec t: Savino Miller Design Studio South Pointe Park is designed as a dramatic, ecologically sensitive park at the south end of Miami Beach. The design is programmed to accommodate both active and passive recreation, with play fields, dune and hammock zones, a playground, and a 20 ft. wide baywalk .   An important goal in the Master Plan process was to integrate the park into the urban fabric of the city by strengthening and improving the two major street axes which penetrate the park space.

12. The Park positions two corresponding circulation paths – the Serpentine Walk and the Cut Walk – across its length to provide critical regional connections and views out to Government Cut and the Atlantic Ocean.  The paths connect to both the Baywalk that traverses the Biscayne Bay coast, and the Beach Walk which provides access along the Atlantic Ocean.  The 1800 foot long linear Cutwalk , a waterfront promenade along Government Cut, acts as a datum, rising between 12-18” above the grade of the park across its length.  From the park, the path is perceived both as object and line, while the experience on the path heightens the sense of spectatorship.  This pathway encourages the theater of the promenade, and provides the ideal viewing platform for the massive cruise ships entering and leaving Biscayne Bay. In counterpoint to the strong linear move of the  Cutwalk , a serpentine landform with leisurely twists and turns begins at the Atlantic Ocean Beach Walk, rises up to allow dramatic views out to the Atlantic Ocean, and access to the top of the pavilion structure and continues west until it meets the Bay Walk.

15. 5/8/2023 15 The pathway also encourages the theatre of the promenade, and it serves as an ideal for the massive cruise ships entering or leaving the Biscayne Bay.  The landform encourages spirited movement across it and gives a heightened experience of an ever-changing visual field of movement. The twisting of the landform is echoed as a motif throughout the park in smaller garden areas. Sinuous bands of native dune plantings on the ocean side of the serpentine landform are contrasted with abstracted dune landforms and palm trees on the inside slope of the serpentine.  A smaller garden area of coastal hammock plantings of native ground covers, palms and deciduous trees echo the twisting path of the landform. A forest of palms with understory grasses and ferns creates a buffer to the urban context along the northern edge of the park. The design integrates the park into the urban fabric by extending two major streets – Washington Avenue and Ocean Drive – into the park with generous hardscape entry plazas.

16. 5/8/2023 16 At the interior of the park a pavilion with café and facilities creates a point of rest.  An amphitheater creates an informal staging area and seating overlooking the water.  The park also features three areas of open lawn which support free and flexible program. These areas of lawn are planted with salt tolerant turfgrasses to withstand active use and are engineered to retain water after tropical storm events.  Mature trees from the site were stored during construction and then replanted on the lawn, achieving an immediate visual impact at the opening of the park.  Another design challenge was to integrate the existing restaurant within the park as it provides revenue for the maintenance of the park. In order to bring vehicular access and parking close to the restaurant, the design creates an urban entrance edge.  Outdoor terraces flank the cutwall , emphasizing the circulation of the park while accommodating the restaurant programming within it. 

17. 5/8/2023 17 The selection of project materials was significantly influenced by the project context : high-quality materials that reflect the city’s growing prominence as an international destination.  The park’s context at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean and the pervasive humid, sub-tropical climate of South Florida required the selection of durable materials that have the capacity to withstand not only heavy, urban park use, but also the strong erosive forces of the coastal environment, such as salt spray, hurricane force winds and tropical storm deluges.  Materials and finishes adapted to both contexts such as marine-grade stainless steel with high-quality finishes to deter advanced weathering due to salt spray and the use of wood was limited to sustainably harvested IPE, to withstand wide and rapid fluctuations in moisture while providing a long lifespan in an environment where other woods would be subject to advanced rot and decay. Paving materials were designed for long-term durability but to also reflect the regional geomorphology.  Dominican keystone (a stone of fossilized coral), shell aggregate concrete paving, and coquina pathways draw visual and tactile connections to the larger geologic context underpinning the site.  Custom site lighting was designed to provide a signature night-time experience and announce the point of passage to cruise ships and they signify the annual phenomena of sea turtles retuning to the beach to nest. During the six month turtle nesting season, pylon lights change to an amber long wavelength light which does not interfere with hatchlings and their return to the ocean.

18. 5/8/2023 18 The project is adjacent to sensitive coastal hydrology and includes an integrated system of rainwater collection and harvesting. Nearly all the rainwater that falls on the 22-acre site is harvested and retained on site. To address the seasonal sub-tropical rainfalls of south Florida, site grading was utilized to direct surface flow during small rain events into large areas of native plantings, which allow for infiltration and to minimize reliance on traditional drainage structures.
