Extending Landscapes up Building Walls
“The inspired idea was to make the building look as if it rests on the green wall, grounding the arena on the landscape, and extending the landscape from the plaza up to the walls of the arena itself,” said James Haig Streeter, landscape design lead, AECOM.
“As people come up to the arena, it appears to emerge from the landscape. They see vibrant bands of green that change, as different sections utilize different plants based on the varying patterns of sun and shade around the building.”
