5.2.2018 Stoss entry “The Loop+The Stitch" wins Chouteau Greenway Design Competition in St. Louis

The Chouteau Greenway Design Competition partners and jury announced today that the team led by Stoss Landscape Urbanism has won the international competition to design a new greenway to connect St. Louis's Forest Park and Gateway Arch. The competition was conducted by Great Rivers Greenway and joined by partners in a unique public-private partnership that aims to transform St. Louis.

The Chouteau Greenway builds on all of what makes St. Louis great, and re-imagines it as a place connected by opportunity, access, and a diversity of shared experiences. The greenway opens new chances for discovery, enchantment, and appreciation through the lens of movement. Together with our team, we are excited to be a part of this defining moment and to contribute to the city's renaissance.

The Loop + The Stitch embodies our intention to promote connection, prosperity, inclusion, reconciliation, innovation, and joy. The Loop links the civic and spectacular icons and histories of the central city, connecting Washington University and Forest Park to downtown St. Louis and the Gateway Arch. The Stitch links neighbors to neighbors and the visitor to the everyday authenticity of St. Louis. Together, the greenway routes build on a set of "social common denominators" (food, water, public space, stories, currency, etc.) that are shared by all despite socio-cultural and socio-economic differences. In all these ways the Chouteau Greenway inscribes itself into the whole of the city, creating new opportunity through economic development and job creation and connecting assets, opportunities, neighborhoods, and people across its rich and diverse fabric.

The Stoss team is led by Boston- and Los Angeles-based Stoss Landscape Urbanism and includes Urban Planning for the American City, ALTA, Marlon Blackwell Architects, Damon Davis, De Nichols, Mallory Nezam, David Mason and Associates, HR&A, Amanda Williams, Lochmueller, and Diversity Awareness Partnership.

"On behalf of our entire team, we are thrilled to be selected for the Chouteau Greenway project—an incredible initiative for St. Louis that looks to knit together the city's well-known destinations with neighborhoods, workplaces, and institutions east to west, and north to south. We look forward to working with Great Rivers Greenway, its incredible partners, the City, and with all the stakeholders and citizens of St. Louis in the coming weeks and months to craft and refine a strategy for engaging everyone in the future of this greenway." — Chris Reed, Founder + Director, Stoss

In May 2016, the Association for Women in Architecture Foundation awarded its first Professional Development Fellowship to Katherine Harvey and Janica Ley Baker. Since then, Kate and Janica have explored the potential of Los Angeles Unified School District play yards to address the effects of climate and urbanization while providing new learning environments and enhancing access to public green space. 

This research looks into the regional potential of 1200 play yards owned by the Los Angeles Unified School District. As one of the largest land owners in the county, this work suggests the district-wide impact of addressing regional dynamics of cyclical drought, effects of urbanization: impermeability, heat island effects, and loss of native species diversity. The work attempts to unveil an alternative future, aggregated from the micro-scale of the singular public school campus and put into focus the collective impact of all these campus sites. It strategically considers their respective landscapes in terms of educational enrichment, ecological services, and public health benefits. Proposed solutions are at once strategic, measured, playful, and optimistic about our region and the role of public lands in its future.

The mappings identify the LAUSD boundary and the intertwined relationship that the school sites have with both systems of reserved and flowing water, open space, biodiversity banks, carbon sinks and energy infrastructure. A sub-watershed of the Tujunga Wash was selected as case study, dissecting the potential of the schools within the watershed in relation to a series of linear infrastructures: the Tujunga Central Branch, an LADWP Right of Way, a rail corridor, and a series of water wells.

The model represents an educational and outreach tool developed to facilitate discussion about how planning and design might break down the barriers to considering individual school sites in relation to regional infrastructures: wildlife corridors, greenways, waterways and the connective network between campuses.

5.6.2016 Stoss Celebrates 15 years

15 years ago we began with a question and a research project. The question was how landscape might play a more formative role in reimagining cities. The research project looked at how we might step outside traditional roles of designers in the public works projects of yesterday, and tomorrow. Today we celebrate the work those investigations spawned, in more than 30 cities and 8 countries, with an array of talented collaborators. And we celebrate how lucky we have been, to be recognized for this work by the Cooper Hewitt National Design Awards, the American Society of Landscape Architects, Progressive Architecture, Topos, the Waterfront Center, AZURE Magazine, the Boston Society of Architects, and others. 

Celebrate with us, as we share some of our favorite projects, from our earliest work to our newest ambitions. And thanks for being part of it!
