-

 


STOSS is an american based Landscape architecture firm which founded on 2001. STOSS is providing their services by considering these three main strategies. 

1. Social attachment 

2. Environmental attachment

3. Cultural improvement . 


I am impressed with the design of HARVARD PLAZA, USA. The area of the plaza is 2 acres and has good infrastructure. This design was created to provide a gathering space for students and Harvard university-related people. Multi-functional wooden benches provide an iconic view of the plaza. There are 17 customised benches that have been placed in this park with a different design. This place makes the park different and vibrant. There are low-powered LED bulbs fixed under the benches that gives more attention to the park at nighttime.  

This design received a honour award in 2015  from Boston society of landscape architects .
