Some of the examples for the Public  projects ,

• Banneker park 
• Kiley garden 
• National gallery of art Washington DC.
• Milton lee olive park 

I personally loved with the simple design of Milton lee olive park which is located in Chicago. This is the office of Dan kiley .

Dan designed this landscape for the water filtration purpose. There are five stepped circles are the main part of the landscape design. Diagonal line pathway  interconnecting  each circle. Dan called this design as an utilitarian landscape. Utilitarian landscape is the thing, which is having the essential purpose  instead of aesthetic. Nowadays this park is getting closer to the worst condition because of the maintenance problem.
