URBAN LANDSCAPE DESIGN

Urban landscape design has long been an overlooked field in South Africa. The importance of such work is becoming clear, as those urban areas that have not received proper design attention slide into degeneration. The financial and design success of Hatfield Square bears out the potential that these areas offer. The international experience of all of the members of BCK brings a knowledge of the possibilities of urban areas found in Europe, the United States and Canada. This knowledge is utilised in urban landscape design projects.
