Current Work: West 8 Adrian Geuze
Tuesday, 11/18/2008, 7:00pm
Founded in 1987 by principal Adriaan Geuze, West 8 uses "ecology, infrastructure, weather conditions, cultural influences, historical gestures, building programs...in a playful and engaging manner to encourage the public to understand and take ownership of spaces." Based in Amsterdam, the multidisciplinary landscape and urban design practice is global in scope. Recent and current projects, many commissioned through international competitions, include the Toronto Waterfront Revitalization; Parque Lineal de Manzanares, Madrid; Jubilee Gardens, London; Buona Vista Park, Singapore; and Schiphol Amsterdam International Airport. In 2007, a design team led by West 8 won the competition to design three major parks, covering 90 acres, on Governors Island.
