Legacy Architecture: The Locus of Community, Art, Economics, Environment
AIA Architect, March 14, 2008
The landscape architecture firm Design Workshop orchestrates their projects within a four-ringed comprehensive and collaborative approach that balances the elements of art, community, economics, and environment.
