The Community and Public Space

In public and community settings, activating outdoor space presents a powerful opportunity to make daily life feel even more fulfilling, more enjoyable, and more meaningful. And with today’s busy, over-stressed and desk-bound lifestyle, these are exactly the experiences that people actively seek for their well-being.

People are hungry for opportunities to connect with themselves, nature, and one another, but often lack space, time, and resources. Landscape Forms provides the inspiration and solutions to create immersive outdoor public environments that enrich the overall quality of life, provide people the opportunity to integrate the outdoors into their daily routines, and help them form deeper connections with nature and with one another.
