Prague to transform its formerly neglected train station park
Mayor of Prague Zdeněk Hřib announced that the Czech capital will be launching a design competition with the goal of transforming Vrchlického sady, a park located near Prague’s Main Station.
According to expats.cz, three major overhauls are planned and are meant to give this previously neglected area a new face. They include a redesign of the train station’s check-in hall, the creation of a new tram route across the park with a stop outside the train station’s main gate, and a complete transformation of the park itself.
Mayor Hřib stated on social media: ‘’The whole project of transforming the station and its surroundings is unique in that it will be a collaboration between the City of Prague and the state.’’
‘’I can’t wait to see the winning architectural design of the whole transformation. It will be announced in the summer of 2023,’’ the mayor of the Czech capital further stated.
The new competition includes participation from Prague City Hall, the city’s public transportation body DPP, and the Czech Railway Administration due to the scope of the modifications that will be made to the area that currently bears the nickname ‘’Sherwood”.
‘’I am very pleased that everywhere you look in Prague, the city is changing for the better: Wenceslas Square is being redesigned, the Industrial Palace is being completed, we know the shape of the new Vltava Philharmonic Hall and we are preparing the revival of the New Palmovka,’’ Mayor of Prague Zdeněk Hřib stated.
”All thanks to the fact that we have the courage to manage Prague in the right way,’’ he concluded. (photo credit: IPR Praha)

As a final outreach project for 2018, the MCC horticulture team partnered with the Church of the Good Shepherd, to landscape their front garden.
Spending three Tuesdays on the project, the team started with a sweep of the area to devise which piece of land would have the greatest visual effect after being landscaped. It was decided that the front space, visible from the main road, would be the most effective zone.
Coming back the following week, the area was de-weeded with roundup. Roundup takes a couple of weeks to work so when the next Tuesday came around, we were unable to start any planting. Instead, Church elder Arthur Rowcliffe gathered a trailer-full of rocks and we spent the morning inserting them into the ground to create an edging for the garden. The sweat of lifting rocks didn’t last long as everyone worked fast, allowing us to be finished by about ten. This gave us ample time to travel to a nursery WAY out, to buy the necessary plants.
As the last Tuesday came around, our year 12’s Karl and Tenique turned up early and spent the morning planting, mulching and installing reticulation with the MCC horticulture teacher, Mrs. Johns and Mr. Rowcliffe. What resulted from all this hard work was a beautiful low maintenance (low water) native garden that really enhances the stunning, historic features of the little church.
In finishing, we were happy with our effort and the pleasing effect of our work. As projects like this strengthen and grow community relationships, our hope is that MCC continues to partner with the Church of the Good Shepherd, and not only maintain lasting bonds, but work together to share the love of Christ to the wider community.

Humble Administrator's Garden only refers to the name itself, not to its real contents. The garden is not humble at all, actually it is so grand and splendid and luxurious and it appears not like a Suzhou garden, but a royal retreat in some historical Chinese capitals in northern China such as Beijing. The details in this garden still contains a lot of key elements of Suzhou garden, such as small and zigzaging lanes, small bridges across the wandering streams. However, the garden is big and open, which make these elements look not private.
Tourists are always abundant. I like smaller gardens like Ouyuan or Canglang which are quieter and feel more private. Admission to that was 30 kuai per person.

First Street Development II, LLC has filed an application for PUD Preliminary Plan approval for development of a portion of the Phase 3 site, which is the vacant riverfront property located at the northeast corner of Illinois and First Streets.
The proposed site plan includes three mixed-use buildings and a parking deck. The plan covers the portion of the site located south of the planned East Plaza and is generally located in the previously planned building footprint locations. Attached are location maps showing the building site in relation to the planned public spaces.
The plan is similar to the Concept Plan presented in January 2014, except that Building #1 is now proposed as all office on the upper floors (instead of residential use). No street level office uses are proposed in any building.
Preliminary Plan Review Process
The PUD development standards for the site were approved by the City in 2006 and revised in 2008. The Preliminary Plan process requires a developer to submit plans for review by the City to determine if the plans comply with the previously approved PUD development standards and any other zoning requirements.
The Preliminary Plans were reviewed and recommended for approval by the Historic Preservation Commission on 11/19/14 and the Plan Commission on 12/16/14. The plans will next be presented to the Planning & Development Committee of the City Council in as early as February 2015.
Public spaces around the proposed buildings
- Streets: Streetscape improvements on First St. and Illinois St. will be similar to what has been constructed along the west side of First Street, with the same hardscape materials, planter boxes, lighting and street furniture. On-street angled parking will be provided along First St. Finalized plans for the streetscape improvements will be presented later based on the final building designs. Construction of the streetscape improvements is planned to occur as each building is constructed.
- Riverwalk: The area planned for the bi-level riverwalk is unchanged. Plans will be presented later in conjunction with the plans for Building #3. With the creation of two private outdoor dining areas at the north end of Buildings #2 and #3, outdoor dining will not occupy any space along the riverwalk, which will provide for wider pedestrian pathways.
- East Plaza: An area remains reserved for the planned East Plaza, located north of Building #2. Plans for the development of the remaining Phase 3 property north of the East Plaza (up to Main St.) are unknown at this time.

EdrawMax Paving Your Path to Landscape Architecture
EdrawMax accelerates the growth and production of government and enterprise clients around the world.
It is a challenge for landscape architects to communicate and defend their plans. They need strong evidence and documentation support for clearly communicating their case to the stakeholders.
Landscape architecture is both an art and a science. Architects have to balance sustainable designs, a green environment, and creative solutions. So, they need to see the bird's eye view and micro-detailing.
Landscape architects use drawing software to save time, effort and to produce a state of the art plans. A challenging learning curve discourages them from adopting innovative technological solutions.

Should I slate-chip this
Pictures button not working!
This area is a corner of my front forecourt garden. I'm fed up of the weeds and am keen to make the base more attractive. I'm considering laying down either slate or bark chips. All I have learned is - bark chips can be placed on top of soil and may not stop weeds coming through, but slate chips require weed lining first.
What I'd like to know is - should I really be considering slate chips, since there are plants, not in containers, to be retained in this area? How would these shrubs take water if there is weed liner and slate down? Would I slate everywhere but leave the bases of the shrubs and trees unchipped? Perhaps at the base apply some bark chips instead? The combo could look quite good.
Plants you see in the pictures:
- Front hedge.
- Flowering shrub - pyrus of some kind, apparently?
- Sweet-smelling, white-flowering shrub, growing awkwardly in background.
- Large conifer-type tree.
- Smaller tree, which is impinging on the larger tree and I think I should remove.
Thanks for your thoughts.


The Princess Vlei Forum is delighted to announce that our project Imagine Princess Vlei has been accepted as an official World Design Capital 2014 project.
The project was submitted under the WDC theme of Bridging the Divide, for a community-led collaborative design process to transform the land around Princess Vlei into an urban nature park that will honour its natural and cultural heritage.
After being shortlisted, the project was excluded from the final programme because the City was engaged in negotiations with the developer regarding the sale of the land. Now that the City has resolved not to sell the land, we are once more eligible and have been accorded recognition.
In a significant development last week, Forum members met with the City to present our vision and discuss the way forward. The meeting was chaired by Ald. Belinda Walker, Mayco member for Community Services and Special Projects, and attended by Cllr Jan Burger and a number of COCT staff, including members from the Spatial Planning and Urban Design, Sports and Recreation, City Parks, and Environmental Resource Management departments.
Ald. Walker indicated that the City was very open to the vision presented by the Forum, and that it accorded in many respects with the City’s own intentions with the site. She further indicated that the City was willing to collaborate with and be guided by the community in transforming the site.
We believe Imagine Princess Vlei holds valuable lessons for the community-driven transformation of public space throughout Cape Town, which will help in the evolution of a more sustainable, equitable and inclusive city driven by a dynamic partnership between civic authorities and engaged citizens. It will also leave a lasting legacy of a beautiful space easily accessible to adjoining low-income communities, and open to all, in which to enjoy nature and community activities.
Our campaign to save Princess Vlei from the proposed mall development has always been driven by a bigger vision of transforming the space into an asset that can serve all citizens for generations to come. This vision has been deepened and strengthened by years of tireless and passionate engagement by local and broader communities in rehabilitating, cleaning up and re-imagining this space.
Imagine Princess Vlei creates a unique opportunity for citizen involvement in shaping our urban environment, and we greatly look forward to working with interested community members, the City of Cape Town and the WDC2014 team on this inspiring project. We would also like to invite people to fill in our online survey to let us know what you would like to see at Princess Vlei. Details of our vision may be found on our here.
"The Princess Vlei Forum joins the 460+ projects in the WDC 2014 programme and we look forward to their contribution to this year of social transformation through design. To realise the legacy ambitions of WDC we’d like to see as many of the recognized projects brought to fruition and growth and we wish the Princess Vlei team all the best with the co-design workshops they are planning," said WDC 2014 Programme Director, Nicky Swartz.

The estate’s characteristic mixture of enclosed grazing-land and pockets of traditional ancient woodland probably changed little between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries. However in about 1870, extensive areas of oak and beech woods were planted, both to enhance Penn’s appeal as a shooting estate and to ensure a source of local supply of raw materials to the furniture industry of High Wycombe. During the latter part of the twentieth century, a number of the tenant farms on the estate were vacated and taken in hand, with smaller fields and paddocks being amalgamated. In the process, the agricultural emphasis shifted increasingly from livestock to arable cropping. Today, prominent stands of mature beechwoods, rolling fields and newly restored hedgerows combine to provide one of the most attractive areas of scenic beauty in South Buckinghamshire. The estate has been granted official ‘heritage’ status: its paths and bridleways are well used by walkers and horse riders. There is an abundance of wildlife interest.
As part of a five year working plan agreed with the Inland Revenue the estate has entered into two environmental schemes in recent years. Uncultivated field margins have been created for the benefit of flora and fauna. Hedgerows are continually being gapped up and new ones planted. The woodlands are managed, not just for commercial timber, but with consideration given to wildlife, conservation, amenities and its aesthetic impact. A hibernaculum for bats has been created, ponds cleared, and hedgerow trees planted to lessen the impact of the natural loss of mature hedgerow trees.
Whilst looking to retain its commercial approach to managing all its enterprises, Earl Howe’s overall aim is to enhance the appearance and character of this traditional rural estate for the benefit of his successors. It is hoped that, in so doing, he can add to the enjoyment of its many visitors, walkers and riders, and the local community.

£200,000 of funding has been approved by Wakefield Council to turn land near Normanton into the new Welbeck Country Park.
The public have been invited to give their views on the plans:
The site has the River Calder and Aire, and Calder Navigation Canal at its edges. Welbeck Country Park would be built in phases over several years, as new sections are restored and released.
There are opportunities to make the park well-connected with other parts of the district, and for it to be joined up with existing footpaths and bike trails, like the Trans-Pennine Trail and National Cycle Route.
In large parts of the site there is existing woodland, grassland and scrub, as well as a number of ponds and lakes, including the Southern Washlands Nature Reserve, a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
It is thought Welbeck is already home to otters and the area would be suitable for supporting important animals including great-crested newts, bats, birds, water voles and reptiles.


The Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce named Pratt’s redesigned Engineering Quadrangle the winner of the 2015 Building Brooklyn Award for the Landscape and Open Space category. Held annually, the awards event recognizes recently completed construction and renovation projects that improve the borough’s diverse neighborhoods and economy. Thirteen projects in various categories were selected to receive awards at this year’s ceremony, which was held on July 21 in the newly restored Kings Theatre on Flatbush Avenue. Pratt Institute President Thomas F. Schutte and Executive Director of Planning, Design, Construction, and Facilities Management Glenn Gordon were present to accept the award.
The redesign of the Engineering Quadrangle was a collaborative effort by Pratt alumnus and Trustee Emeritus Bruce M. Newman (B.F.A. Interior Design ’53), recent architectural graduates from Pratt and CUNY, and the Office of Facilities Management. The Quadrangle, bounded by the Chemistry, Machinery, and Engineering Buildings, was reconstructed to allow for better circulation and enhanced aesthetics, and to reinforce the design cohesiveness of the campus.
The Building Brooklyn Awards judging committee—comprised of architects, planners, government officials, economic development experts and business leaders —convened last spring to select the winning projects.
“The borough of Brooklyn is truly an innovation hub, where builders and designers can put their craft to use and enhance the city that surrounds them, said Chamber President & CEO Carlo A. Scissura. “These projects represent the creative influence and inventive culture that inhabit our borough. I would like to congratulate all the winners for their state-of-the-art projects that make this urban setting a place the world needs to see.”

Written by Barkman Concrete Published on December 19th, 2011
Barkman always has risen to the challenge when approached by Landscape Architects for custom products. We look forward to the creative proposals and ideas to see what we can accomplish.
Early in 2010, we received a request from a landscape architect Glen Manning from Hilderman Thomas Frank Cram for a custom triangle paver. After numerous discussions with different departments at Barkman, we came up with a paver that we knew would work great for the University of Manitoba School of Arts. The outside dimensions and thickness needed to be changed a few times in order to perform under site conditions. The landscape architect also wanted a paver that would be a custom light grey mix that would achieve a certified solar reflectance index ( SRI) of 29. By doing this, Barkman helped provide the architect with green, sustainable products used for LEED Certified buildings.
In the spring of 2011 the project was tendered, and like many custom jobs – the deadline was tight. The mold we wanted to have made in Germany was now up to us to manufacture. The maintenance department did a great job of making the mold on time and to specification. This paver was by far the most difficult to install given how precise each piece needed to be placed to ensure proper lines based on the architectural specification. Each piece weighed 88 lbs and was easiest to install with a pneumatic lifting device. The final installation looks amazing!
This is another fantastic project by Barkman to bring a creative vision to reality.


Species: Betula utilis.
There are 5 silver birches in the garden, they grow well, and never get too heavy, so they don't block out the light too much in summer. In winter time their white bark is really pretty and gives structure to the garden. They are mainly planted as a privacy screen. They must only be pruned when dormant or the sap can bleed and they may die. I haven't planned to have them pruned, but if you want to reduce them I would advise getting a tree surgeon to do the job.

A client who loves gardening and being in their back yard asked for a new garden gate, in an Arts & Crafts style, to replace their existing gate, which was sagging under it's own weight and dragging on the ground. Plus it needed to be made out of something other than pressure-treated lumber.
So I designed this gate with three panels and a removable 6-pane window frame using white cedar for the wood. The hardware chosen is heavy-duty solid bronze with a hammered texture and finish, capping off the arts & crafts style of the gate.
If you happen to be in the Lincoln area and think that your garden needs to be updated with a new gate, trellis, arbor or maybe a bench, it all starts with a call or by submitting a contacting form. I'd love to work with you, discuss your ideas and needs and then turn them into a reality, from design to construction to installation.


Landscape architect gets OK for final downtown gateway designs in Willmar, Minn.
WILLMAR -- The City Council has given landscape architect Adam Arvidson of Minneapolis approval to begin final work on three gateway designs for downtown Willmar.
The gateways project, underway for about eight months, is identified in the downtown plan that the council accepted last year.
Arvidson said the basic idea was to incorporate themes associated with the region's glacial lakes and the city's railroad history into gateways at three different downtown entrances.
The entrances are First Street and Litchfield Avenue, Third Street Southwest and U.S. Highway 12, and Seventh Street Southwest and Highway 12.
The project is funded jointly by the city and by Main Street Minnesota through revenue raised by the State Land and Legacy Amendment, he said.
Arvidson presented preliminary concepts and received council backing July 1 for final design work. The concepts were based on ideas gathered during a series of public meetings and committee meetings during the past two months.
Arvidson said reaching a preliminary concept was an important step to getting the community working together and getting everyone onboard with the general idea of what the gateways might look like.
The concepts include using a mixture of pavement surface changes to mark the threshold to downtown; a vertical element such as a lighted blue column (representing water) with Willmar's name on it; and a horizontal element such as fences or railings (with a design representing tracks and switches in the railroad yard).
Other components include curb changes, reducing sign clutter and perhaps incorporating some murals on blank building walls.
He said the gateways would be designed to welcome people to downtown and stimulate interest in downtown for both residents and tourists, but also provide an identity and a vitality to continue many of the efforts that have been happening to increase downtown's vitality overall.
"By using the same vertical and horizontal elements and the same pavement and curb changes, we can create an identity that really holds true across downtown Willmar while also addressing the very particular characters of each of those different gateway locations,'' said Arvidson.
He said the gateways concepts are more of an intervention of elements into the landscape rather than a wholesale transformation of these intersections.
"But it does give a sense of context of downtown without going over the top of that,'' he said. "It gives you more of 'finding a way in' rather than a replacement of the view of downtown that you might otherwise get,'' he said.
Council reaction was positive and members' questions centered on details such as how the columns would be lighted and if mowing would be difficult around the fencing or railings. Arvidson favors lighting the columns and said other issues would be addressed during final design.
City officials have said that once final approval is given, the projects can be planned and funding sought in the city's five-year capital improvement budget.

Although the upper portion of the Red Butte Creek’s watershed is a protected natural area, the creek’s lower reaches—which run through the center of the University of Utah—have faced over a century of degradation, diversion, and neglect. In collaboration with the Global Change and Sustainability Center and the Sustainability Office, the Center for Ecological Planning and Design led the development of a Strategic Vision for the Red Butte Creek, which proposes a draft strategy to revitalize the creek and its watershed and turn it into a model ecological corridor for research, environmental education, community engagement, and campus sustainability. The final draft of the Strategic Vision was completed in fall 2015 and was granted preliminary University administration approval. Since then, further stakeholder and community review of the vision has been solicited.
|This short video shows some of the ways that the creek is being utilized as a living laboratory.|

It is vital to maintain lakes and ponds using techniques that ensure their commercial survival. There are many reasons why a pond or lake may require bank stabilisation:
- Erosion of the existing bank. This could be due to the pressure of people or animals destroying the bankside. This is especially important where erosion is threatening local property or bankside paths.
- During the construction of a pond or lake, when either there is insufficient space for gently sloping banks or where steeper profiles are required.
- Edging is often used near bridges or other main structures for support.
- Where changes in weather patterns have meant that water flow levels have altered.
- Edging plays an important role in the creation and renovation of ponds and lakes. When properly installed, Edging should blend into the landscape and add value and decoration to your new feature.
Please contact us for more information and to discuss the best type of edging for your lake or pond. Below are some types that we have installed.

Once again, before you spend that kind of money make sure you have all the appropriate permits. Unless you are a serious do-it-yourself type person, you will probably want to consult a professional about making that kind of commitment. You may also want to consider building a grill island and these can become quite expensive.

Anything with big, deep green leaves works great, and all the better if it is evergreen. Ornamental grasses like Pampus and Maiden grass make great foundation plants. They seem to add a care-free feel to the landscape as they move with the wind. You should be able to find several that are adapted to your area. Finally, try to find some color for the foundation. Any shrub or tree that flowers and is well adapted to your area is great for your foundation. Crepe myrtles are favorites in southern landscapes. Remember, the idea here is to set that permanent foundation. You’ll definitely want to use things that are reliable in your area, and will not succumb to winter cold.

Sugar Land's hottest destination scores coveted statewide recognition
A bustling gathering place in one of Houston’s biggest ‘burbs has just scored a major award. Sugar Land Town Square has just been named a Great Public Space as part of the 2022 Great Places in Texas program, an accolade given out by the Texas Chapter of the American Planning Association.
That means Sugar Land Town Square is only the third Houston-area locale to receive the recognition, joining the iconic Buffalo Bayou and Discovery Green.
Destinations up for consideration were evaluated on factors such as design, functionality, sustainability, character, quality, and community participation, according to a press release.
Sugar Land’s Town Square plaza was ultimately recognized as an example of planning excellence, while also netting high marks for the city’s leadership and community partnerships.
A hot, mixed-use hub frequented by locals and visitors alike, the square has seen updates such as more shade and canopy coverage, outdoor seating space, and more green areas. Recent touch-ups include revamped landscaping, fresh signage, re-faced tenant storefronts, event programming, new food and beverage, retail, and even entertainment concepts—such as the interactive Department of Wonder.
“We’re honored to receive this designation from the Texas Chapter of the American Planning Association and proud to see Sugar Land acknowledged as a leader within our state," said City Planner – Long Range Ruth Lohmer. “Sugar Land Town Square plaza is at the center of one of our community’s great assets, Town Square, one of the many amenities that makes our city a great place to live, work and play. Having this robust, enjoyable space in Sugar Land furthers its diverse economy, enhancing the quality of life for residents.”
This news comes as Fort Bend, home to Sugar Land, was just named the second-richest county in Texas.


Project: New play area at Lady Nelson Playing Field
Client: Tendring District Council
Contractor: Miracle Design & Play
Miracle Design & Play was one of several firms to draw up proposals for the play area in the village of Thorpe-le-Soken near Clacton-on-Sea, Essex.
The area includes a giant play unit with a 4m high space net, but the must-have item is a 25m long zip line. The design involves two zones, one for ages two to six and the other for sevento 14-year-olds.
Basket swings, a toddler play unit and rotators for toddlers and teens cost £50,000, said designer Andy Steel. His company worked with Tendring District Council and Thorpe-Le-Soken Parish Council.
"Miracle pulled out all the stops to ensure that it was delivering the exact project that was laid out in the brief," said parish council vice-chairman Daniel Land.
