Living Places

This collection of critical essays and photographs provides an overview of nine recent projects of Jones & Jones Architecture and Landscape Architecture. An introduction by the author provides personal and organizational history and context. Jones & Jones, which received the first ever Firm Award from the century-old American Society of Landscape Architecture, has redefined the terms of design for several project types-including zoos and roads – and created some that never before existed. Multidisciplinary, multi-cultural Jones & Jones has thrived on its founders’ spirit of activism and engagement in nature and history. Projects include Cedar River Watershed Education Center near Seattle; Commons Park in Denver; Arctic Ring of Life Complex in Detroit; Duwamish River Revival Projects in Seattle; Icicle Creek Music Center near Leavenworth, Wash.; National Museum of the American Indian in Washington D.C.: Paris-Lexington Road Reconstruction in Kentucky; Rio Nuevo Master Plan for Tucson; and Sleeping Lady Mountain Retreat near Leavenworth, Wash.
