Overview


The Columbus Circle project was commended for its redesign of an historic and central point in New York City to provide usable and versatile public open space. The project addresses a problem common to many cities, creating an organized and safe traffic flow and an improved public open space. This project also demonstrates excellence in landscape design, with its inclusion of a fountain, benches, planting, and access, which work together to create a space that brings people together.
