Our park's a winner It's a Lowcountry landmark, and now it's a Landmark Award winner. Charleston's Waterfront Park has earned the 2007 Landmark Award from the American Society of Landscape Architects and the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The award recognizes "a distinguished landscape architecture project completed between 15 and 50 years ago that retains its original design integrity and contributes significantly to the public realm of the community in which it is located," according to an ASLA press release. Waterfront Park, which was completed in 1990, was designed by Sasaki Associates. The awards jury called the park "simple, elegant, urbane" and said, "It jump-started the reclamation of downtown as we know it today and turned the city back to the water — just one instance of the exemplary public realm created over many years by Mayor Joe Riley." |
