Showcasing the design of Phillips Farevaag Smallenberg (PFS), a leading Canadian planning, urban design and landscape architecture firm, this comprehensive, thought-provoking and visually stunning book consists of seven commissioned essays by foremost architects, landscape architects, planners and historians working today. Each author, including Bruce Kuwabara, Ken Greenberg and Kelty Miyoshi McKinnon, touches on provocative conceptual approaches to design that PFS takes within their practice. From Contemporary Urbanism, Dynamic Process, Cultural Landscapes, Super Natural, Contemporary Commemoration, Global Flows to Bodily Places, each essay theme covers and explores different PFS projects from Sherbourne Park in Toronto, to Confederation Square in Ottawa, from Vimy Memorial Restoration in France to Huang Pu in China. An interview by the three founding partners of PFS, Chris Phillips, Marta Farevaag and Greg Smallenberg, is interspersed between essays, forming a binding thread that holds the book together.
"Pablo was the graphic designer for our book, "Grounded: The Work of Phillips Farevaag Smallenberg" published by Blue Imprint in 2010. Extremely thoughtful, creative and collaborative, Pablo has an expansive approach to design which is reflected in the way he amalgamates landscape and graphic concepts into a book experience that is richly layered, yet clean and precise. He is tireless in his drive for perfection and his attention to detail is extraordinary. On top of all this he is fun to work with! We look forward to more collaborations in the future."
