Low-curbed planters provide places for trees, shrubs, flowers, and sitting areas along pathways. Simple yet varied in use and design on site, there are a number of variations on this simple utilitarian element.

Parkmerced a 191.5 acre site designed by Leonard Schultze, Thomas Dolliver Church + Robert Royston. The Modern landscape & apartment community developed by Met-Life in the 1940's was to provide affordable rental housing + open space. Proposals of density + development, threaten the landscape design neglected by prior owners + shrunken by subtle sales of blocks. The integrity of the landscape design, radiates utilitarianism, simplicity, + beauty.

Should Parkmerced become a National Landmark
Should SFSU Creative Center be built on prior Parkmerced Community Ammenity Land?
Should the permits for 800 Brotherhood Way be revoked until a proper EIR is conducted?
