Too bad Claude Cormier is no longer with us - they can do hardscape like no other.

I think what's curious here in terms of teams is that JRS have a real strength in formal type spaces. Her forte is outdoor space as art gallery, but with a very English, orderly ethos to it.

But what's being contemplated here does not really fit that traditional strength.

What's being imagined....is something close to an MVVA effort.

Specialists have been brought in to address that (ecology/forestry, history, indigenous reconciliation.)

Lots of well intended, highly competent people, but it feels alike a bit of an awkward fit.

True, and I think Marc Halle oversaw the Berczy Park project.

I think QPN would be a good fit with MVVA; QPS is an entirely different creature and I think it needed something more formal and "Cartesian".
