Adriaan Geuze of West 8, Born in 1960 in Dordrecht, South Holland, Netherlands

 Yongsang Park, Seoul, South Korea 

I have chosen the above (picture also below) of the US army base conversion to a national park in the middle of Seoul city centre.

From wikipaedia, "West 8 became known in Europe for their ecological spatial planning and landscape projects.  Ahead of time, their approach based on the environment (sic) reality was awarded a Global Award for Sustainable Architecture in 2014.

West 8 was founded by Adriaan and his partner Paul van Beek in Rotterdam, Netherlands in 1987. Adriaan  studied landscape architecture at the University of Wageningen graduating in 1987. In 1993 he wrote the essay, "Accelerating Darwin," "(in which he) advocated a sensation of spontaneous  culture which the city dweller creates.  One of the firm's best known projects is the Schouwburgplein in Rotterdam (1996) using a raised platform lit from below and incorporating crane like structure to support lights that can be moved by inserting coins in a slot, literally empowering the individual to light the square as they see fit." ( Here they also constructed a striking new conception of a large public square made of a lightweight metal which "floats on top of the roof of a parking garage)" At the Oosterscheldeham Flood Barrier (1994) the firm used black and white striped mussel shells as art and landscape" A "Ballardian urban park" was created by them at the Carrascoplein in Amsterdam in 1998. "They converted a "forgotten" place beneath viaducts into a parking lot of abstract patterns with patches of green space illumination of the viaduct soffits. They have done several innovative designs and put forward an unorthodox proposal for site of the World Trade centre, "turn it into pasture." There is no longer much difference between the town and the country in Holland so this urban realm is where they have learnt to transform civic to mix with the pastoral.
