Theodore Roosevelt Park Wins NY ASLA Honor Award
"Theodore Roosevelt Park at the American Museum of Natural History by Reed Hilderbrand is reimagined in conversation with the new Richard Gilder Center for Science, Education, and Innovation.
Selected for an Honor Award in General Design, the park’s new design centers it as a powerful neighborhood amenity for daily life on the Upper West Side. Striving for fit with its history and context, the design is carefully calibrated to reinforce connectivity, retain its mature canopy of trees, and better serve the community. This hard-working landscape embraces the 19th century principles of American landscape architecture that are now synonymous with
New York’s public spaces, translating a familiar vocabulary to enable the park to serve a 21st century city."
