Civic & Culture

Houses make a town, but citizens
make a city.
- Jean-Jaques Rousseau

Public places – places of and for people – are essential parts of the community landscape. They’re where we learn, celebrate culture, and maintain civic activities. PWL understands that such places are both symbolic and highly used, providing a sense of community and identity important to all.

Our many years designing elementary and secondary school grounds have evolved to include college and university campuses, all inspiring and functional learning landscapes. Our richly textured landscapes support the activities of many cultural sites, from community centres and sports complexes to museums and cultural centres. In all this work, we never forget who we are designing for: the people.
