As part of the vision for a new, “post-viaduct” waterfront along Seattle’s Elliott Bay shoreline, many great ideas have been proposed and developed, with some becoming realities, while some fell by the wayside.

Inspired by an amazing site in a park and city we cherish, Berger Partnership teamed with artist John Fleming to shape a concept for an art piece for Riverfront Park.

On mentioning sea level rise, one conjures vivid images of storm-surged shorelines. Its major threat to Seattle, however, isn't the communities along the shoreline, but the city’s only river—the Duwamish River.

Stepping into a new frontier of learning, Question Reality is an exploration on a new trend of technologies in immersive media also known as XR (X-Reality, X as the variable) in landscape architecture projects.

Industrial Ecology is an exploration of construction demolition waste, chosen by our 2017 intern based on her observation of record high construction activity throughout Seattle.

Union is a study of place, a human-created connection between Lake Washington, Lake Union, and Puget Sound through the Lake Washington Ship Canal complex.

Continuing our adventures in model making, we experimented with various digital fabrication tools and a wide range of materials to emulate the Surrey Downs Park site in Bellevue.

Building a design in 3D, either physically or digitally, forces you to resolve all the details that were not evident in your 2D drawings and sketches. The model becomes a tool for understanding—a process.

Our first internship report explores innovative examples of regional water management strategies and investigates green roofs, cisterns, stormwater planters, and living machines.
