Focus Week 2: Hargreaves Associates

Hargreaves Associates is an international landscape architecture firm. The firm was chosen to design the main Olympic Park for London 2012 and I have been looking into the work of the firm with the possibility of applying for work experience or an internship with their London offices.

"The firm’s work centers on planning and design that is specific to a site including its historical context, its natural processes and the uses aspired to for that site – and it embodies a commitment to civic vitality and creative solutions that meld cultural desires, functional needs and site."

Obviously, the inernational nature of the firms work is very attractive. However, I am particulalrly interested in the work and thought that goes into making the various project culturally and locally relevant.
