Thomas Church Memorial Design Competition 2007

The objective of the 2007 competition was to create a plan for an outdoor viewing center at the American Ponds site, a recently designated stepping-stone for a blackfaced spoonbill habitat expansion in Tainan County, Taiwan. The intent was to merge environmental planning for habitat needs and sea level change with landscape design for walking, learning and viewing into a seamless whole that satisfies utility while capturing the sensual essence of the place.
