Turenscape to Offer Designs for Waller Creek

2012-04-18 Author：Jeanne Claire van Ryzin

The Waller Creek Conservancy will announce today that it has selected four finalist teams to develop plans for concepts on 1.5 miles of parkland and urban space along Waller Creek in downtown Austin.


The teams are CMG and Public Architecture; Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates and Thomas Phifer and Partners; Turenscape and Lake Flato Architects; and Workshop: Ken Smith Landscape Architect, Ten Eyck Landscape Architects and Rogers Marvel Architects.
 Each team will receive $100,000 to develop designs for the 28 acres around Waller Creek. The finalists' designs will be presented to the public in September, and a finalist team will be selected by a jury Oct. 16.
 The Waller Creek Conservancy is a private nonprofit group that is spearheading the redevelopment along the creek from the University of Texas campus to Lady Bird Lake by raising $60 million. The City of Austin and the conservancy each contributed $400,000 as seed funding for the design competition.

    I want to show some thanks to you for recuisng me from this incident. As a result of checking through the the net and obtaining ways which were not productive, I thought my entire life was gone. Living without the presence of solutions to the problems you've fixed by way of your entire article content is a critical case, and the kind that would have in a negative way damaged my career if I had not encountered the website. Your own capability and kindness in controlling every item was priceless. I'm not sure what I would have done if I had not encountered such a stuff like this. I can also now relish my future. Thank you so much for this high quality and results-oriented help. I will not think twice to recommend your web site to any individual who will need care about this issue.
