In today’s rapidly urbanizing world, where development timelines can stretch over months or even years, the concept of "interim parks" offers a refreshing solution for cities and communities. Instead of leaving buildings shuttered or lots vacant while awaiting redevelopment, forward-thinking developers are embracing a new strategy: transforming these dormant sites into vibrant, temporary public parks that enhance the urban realm and bring value to the community. Landworks Studio has been working in this capacity for several years, with projects across Taichung, Taiwan led by Pao Huei Development, that demonstrate how thoughtful design can turn transitional spaces into valuable community resources. What are your thoughts on interim parks? Would you like to see more of these transitional spaces in your community? #urbandesign #construction #development #landscapearchitecture #publicparks

A resilient future waterfront for Portland, Maine ... envisioned! The Harvard University Graduate School of Design studio was honored to be part of the Envision Resilience Challenge this year. The students gave their final presentations last week and are grateful for our guest critics and their feedback: “We were blown away by the development of design concepts for the waterfront and wharves. The toolkit with near term, mid term and long term approaches of protect, integrate and embrace is really such an incredible tool for the community. The long-term thinking in particular was innovative and bold. Kudos to the students for taking on such challenging topics with a courageous?approach?and for delivering such visually compelling graphics. We know that community engagement was a curiosity and a priority for your students, and that was clear throughout?that presentation?of the work.” “The work your students produced is amazing! Very impressive, and they should be proud of all their hard work. Congratulations to you all!” ?????? Stay tuned for a community Open House display in Portland on February 7th and for a document of the full outcomes ...

Congratulations to Michele Turrini and Kongyun He for earning the 3rd Prize in The Last Nuclear Bomb Memorial Competition. We're so proud of your achievement!

It was a pleasure having Dustin on our team this summer.?He quickly became an integral part of our group, contributing to graphics and video production for an international competition, mentoring undergraduate interns in 3D printing, and working through pre-concept for a local historic site. His hard work and creativity were truly impressive, and we'd gladly welcome him back anytime!

Landworks Studio completed the renewal and urban corridor expansion for a new housing community at 55 Wheeler Street in Cambridge. The housing complex offers both apartment-style living and townhomes and follows guidelines and recommendations established in the 2019 Alewife plan developed by Utile and the City of Cambridge, which identifies strategies to create a more sustainable, equitable, and inclusive community. Landworks Studios is committed to creating vibrant urban spaces that integrate ecological performance and human activity to foster stronger connections between people and their environments. We are thrilled with the outcome of this project and the ongoing developments taking place in this area of Cambridge.

Absolutely thrilled to see the positive reception for the North Cambridge project from both the community and the planning board! The new condo and retail development at 2400 Massachusetts Ave has been a great collaboration with Merge Architects. We look forward to continuing the work!
