With regards to the discussion the other day about the approach from the airport...
PHL: Firms behind N.Y. High Line, Barnes Foundation & Dilworth Park could change airport's landscape
Quote:
The Philadelphia International Airport already completed millions of dollars in upgrades and renovations, most recently the updated Terminal B, but it could get a taste of and look a little bit like one of New York's popular destinations.
Four design, landscape and architecture firms on Thursday will present concept and design ideas for an airport landscape competition to create a "new and iconic" landscape at the airport, part of a joint collaboration between PHL and the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society.
"The goals of the Image Maker design competition are to create an iconic PHL landscape, enhance the environmental sustainability of the airport, and provide a customer-friendly arrival and departure experience," PHS spokesman Kevin Feeley said.
"The focus areas are all landscapes visible to the traveler going to or from the airport — a scope of approximately 130 acres visible from motor vehicles or from an airplane," Feeley said. "The new design will replace the current landscape that features large areas that are both planted and naturalized."
