Waterfront Botanical Gardens / Perkins&Will

The Waterfront Botanical Gardens and Graeser Family Education Center sit on a former landfill site, which had been unusable and closed off to the public for decades. Today it has been redesigned into 23.5 acres of lush, verdant, sustainable public space: the first botanical garden in Louisville. The education center and surrounding trails and gardens provide green space to residents and visitors, while educating the public on topics of conservation and sustainability. There is programming for adults and children, as well as the opportunity for event rentals.

Pirules House / Escobedo Soliz

Pirules House is one of six houses located on the edge of Valle del Maíz, one of the oldest neighborhoods in San Miguel de Allende (Mexico). The site has a steep topography and is populated by predominantly native trees and vegetation—mainly pepper trees, huizaches, mesquites and nopales.

The Tasting Tongue - Art Installation / Studio Deng

What if every object has an invisible tongue? - A column's tongue, a window's tongue, a flowerbed's tongue, each quietly sensing the world around it, extending its own way of tasting space. The wetness of grass after rain, the umami of a mild breeze, the electric burst of popping candy, or the velvety surrender of melting cheese each becomes a moment of shared synesthesia, a reminder that taste might extend far beyond the body.
