I just got back from the Leading With Landscape<\/a> lecture, where it was announced that the the team led by Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates, Inc. (MVVA) won the Lower Donlands Design Competition. I thought<\/a> this was the best design, re-imagining the space in creative ways while addressing the needs of the city and the future neighbourhood. To see the finer details of the plan, have a look at the design panels<\/a> (PDF) the team presented.<\/p>\n
