This project represents how landscape architecture can influence our cities.  Buffalo Bayou has restored an urban waterway and made it accessible in the heart of the urban core.  As cities grow it will be important to retain these natural features and make them available to city residents.  This project also is an example of a project working with the transportation infrastructure of the city instead of trying to avoid or hide it.  In addition, the designers have used light to create a unique place in the city at night.

Core Question 1: In how far does this project reveal your concept of future landscapes?

This project represents how landscape architecture can influence our cities. Buffalo Bayou has restored an urban waterway and made it accessible in the heart of the urban core. As cities grow it will be important to retain these natural features and make them available to city residents.
