FOUND GROUND

A Portfolio of Landscape Infrastructure

February 2017

This issue assembled five ambitious examples of public landscapes built above, below, into, or around heavy-duty urban transportation corridors.

Based on this issue of LAM, in the fall of 2017, a series of three public programs on infrastructure landscapes was presented at the National Building Museum—as it happens, a block from Capitol Crossing, one of the featured projects.
