On the topic of Penn architects doing big things, PennDesign Professor and Chairman of Landscape Architecture James Corner and his team at James Corner Field Operations, designers of New York City's famed High Line Park, recently won the commission to design the public spaces for London Olympic Park South.
The design team, which includes fellow Landscape Architecture Lecturer Richard Kennedy and a host of other PennDesign Alumni, beat out over 100 teams to win the commission. This counts as the United States' first win of the 2012 Games in our book.
