The
landscape design for the ADC Telecommuncations facility in Shakopee
Minnesota is based on the blending of a native Oak savanna landscape
with the detail of a high tech manufacturing facility. The contrast
between the natural flowing lines of the prairie and the precision
of the facility architecture create an aesthetically appealing
landscape that is unique to this site.
The
design is further enhanced with an interior courtyard that brings
the prairie directly into the facility and begins to blur the lines
between architecture and landscape.
