The American Society of Landscape Architects chose the Orange County (California) Great Park Comprehensive Master Plan as its 2008 Professional Award of Honor for Analysis and Planning. The plan, titled “A Vision for the Great Park of the 21st Century” was the work of the Great Park Design Studio that includes landscape architects Ken Smith Workshop and Mia Lehrer & Associates.
Nearly two times the size of New York’s Central Park, the Orange County Great Park was one of 29 projects to receive an award out of 500 entries.
The Washington Monument in Washington, D.C., the Boston Children’s Museum and the Lost Dog Trails’ Head in Scottsdale, Arizona, also received general design category honor awards.
