Lauren Griffith Associates -Houston Market Square Park Design Animation

This Google Sketch-Up animation illustrates the proposed design now under construction at Market Square, an urban park in downtown Houston's historic district. The tour starts at the corner of Preston and Milam, proceeds down an allee of oaks to Travis, goes through Malou Flato's art benches to a tree-covered dining plaza with trellis and kiosk, through a memorial garden with fountain and sculpture commemorating Lauren Catuzzi Grandcolas and all the victims of 9/11, along Congress and back up steps to an art walk along a crescent-shaped, terraced dog run to terminate in a play area overlooking a central lawn with a view of a James Surls sculpture. The park will include art by James Surls, Richard Turner and Douglas Hollis, Paul Hester, and Ketria Bastien Scott. Lauren Griffith Associates is the prime designer and landscape architect. Ray + Hollington are the architects.This is a project of the Houston Downtown Management District, funded by the Main Street/Market Square TIRZ. The park is owned by the City of Houston Parks and Recreation Department. The video was well-received at a public meeting in 2009.
