Description
Design Workshop's Legacy Design Philosophy:
Legacy Design is one of the defining characteristics of Design Workshop. It is a commitment to more than land planning and landscape architecture in the traditional sense. It suggests a level of inquiry that is elevated and a design envelope that tackles bigger issues than the project and its mapped boundaries.
Legacy Design insists that work reflect the critical issues facing the planning and landscape architecture professions and society. Legacy Forum Leaders will work together under the direction and leadership of Design Workshop's Chief Design Officer to develop design methods and process models intheir areas that can be applied consistently to projects to achieve Legacy Design outcomes.
