Gustafson Guthrie Nichol (GGN) is a landscape architecture firm
based in Seattle, Washington. GGN was founded in 1999 by Jennifer
Guthrie, Shannon Nichol, and Kathryn Gustafson, and it is
world-renowned for designing high-use landscapes in complex, urban
contexts. GGN: Landscapes 1999-2018 is the first book devoted to
their ground-breaking work. It surveys some of their most important
achievements including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
Campus in Seattle, Washington; the National Museum of African
American History and Culture in Washington, DC; the Lurie Garden at
Millennium Park in Chicago, Illinois; and the Venice Biennale in
Italy. Packed with practical design lessons and inspiration, this
is a must-have resource for design students and professionals, and
fans of beautifully designed public spaces.
Richard Haag is best known for his rehabilitation of Gas Works Park
in Seattle and for a series of remarkable gardens at the Bloedel
Reserve on Bainbridge Island. He reshaped the field of landscape
architecture as a designer, teacher, and activist. In 1964, Haag
founded the landscape architecture department at the University of
Washington, and his innovative work contributed to the increasingly
significant design approach known as urban ecological design, which
encourages thinking beyond the boundaries of gardens and parks to
consider the broader roles that landscapes play within urban
ecosystems, such as storm water drainage and wildlife habitat. Gas
Works Park is studied in every survey of twentieth-century
landscape architecture as a modern work that challenged the tenets
of modernism by engaging a toxic site and celebrating an industrial
past. Haag’s work with ecologists and soil scientists in his
landscape remediation and reclamation projects opened new areas of
inquiry into the adaptive reuse of post-industrial sites. Thaïsa
Way places Haag’s work within the context of changes in the
practice of landscape architecture over the past five decades in
the Pacific Northwest and nationally. The book should be of
interest to specialists as well as to readers who are interested in
the changes in urban landscapes inspired by Haag’s work. Watch
