Washington University in St. Louis, The Village Spine

"You created a great collaborative culture where the typical boundaries between disciplines become transparent, allowing creative alternatives to be explored and synergies developed."

• The Village Spine project was a collaboration with landscape firm EDAW. Over 3,000 students walk along this thoroughfare each day.
• To enhance the experience of walking to class, landscaping, outdoor social spaces and student retail were integrated into the design, inspired by the concept of a ski village.
