Adriaan Geuze joined with Edzo Bindels to create West 8 - an international urban design and landscape architecture firm. They focus on contemporary culture, urban identity, and engineered design all in the context of the site's location. The park pictured above (Miami Beach Soundscape Park) utilises its inner-city space with meandering white paths mimicking the white of the tree trunks and the pergolas (hand fabricated, painted aluminum structures) with the beautiful, tropical bougainvillea vines. The canopy trees create an enclosed feel to the park which gives relief from the busy city to walkers-by. The park is also well-lit, creating a safe space for people to enjoy at night when attending the audio-visual feature the park has which creates a space for people to sit, view and listen to performances in the park. I personally find the maze of paths interesting, especially the way the paths range in width and length in an organic form style, creating a stunning pattern for viewers in the multistory buildings surrounding it.
