Get Ready For Boston...ASLA '99

In the middle of September we'll be taking load (probably 2 or 3 vans) to Boston to attend ASLA and CELA. It'll be the one-hundredth anniversary of the American Society of Landscape Architects.

Eventually this page will have details. For now it will just have pictures.

Headquarters of the Christian Science Monitor. If you visit, make sure you look at the lip on the VERY LONG pool. It is designed so that water cascades evenly across it the entire length of the VERY LONG pool (see lefthand picture). I once heard that the pool is so long that it had to be built curved (vertically) to account for the curvature of the earth.

What else is there to see?

Copley Square - A case study of this (in)famous urban plaza designed by Sasaski and others.

Boston City Hall Plaza -- Another case study of a prominent Boston public space.

Quincy Market -- A photographers tribute to the always crowded, fairly historic urban plaza.

You should also consider visiting the Mt. Auburn Cemetery, walking the bike/hike/greenway path along the Charles River, and the Arnold Arboretum.
