Job Opportunities at Hargreaves


Fortunately Hargreave Associates are offering summer interships within their firm throught the world. My intrest in Hargreaves Associates work stems from their proposals for the Olympic Parkland for the London 2012 Olympics. My dissertation centres around the Landscape Legacy of the Parklands Legacy which have been proposed by Hargreaves Associates. As I looked further into Hargreaves Associates website to gain a deeper understanding of the principals they follow:

'In reaction, the last twenty-five years have brought about the emergence of an ecological approach to planning, the preservation and restoration of natural systems, and the notion of sustainable landscape. Our own built landscapes eschew these polarized approaches to the land -- one potentially damaging to the balance of natural systems, the other blind to culture and remote from people's lives -- seeking the in-between.'

I clearly understand how this reflects in their work, with such a unique proposal for the Olympic parklands, to have wetlands and meadows on a site which was formerly derelict and contaminated.

I looked at other projets by Hargreave Associates:

SINGAPORE MARINA BAY

SINGAPORE

Shepherds Bush Common Competition
