Buffalo Bayou Park Houston Page and SWA Group

摘要

I know there was a long community effort to get Buffalo Bayou to happen—how did the project come to be? Lawrence W. Speck, faia, Page: The Buffalo Bayou Partnership has existed for decades. They've done work on other parts of the bayou, a section right through downtown, in particular. But this long stretch was derelict and on the radar screen as an important challenge. Landscape architects SWA Group did work for them on another part of the bayou, and we did the park structures at Discovery Green. They hired us separately and married us together on this project. It was a fantastic relationship.
