The NJASLA student chapter made their way to Stantec's New York City office. A group of students accompanied by Holly Nelson visited Stantec, an interdisciplinary firm that provides professional consulting services in planning, engineering, architecture, interior design, landscape architecture, surveying, environmental science, project anagement, and project economics for infrastructure and facilities projects.
Turns out, three of the landscape architects working at Stantec are Rutgers graduates!
Here is the website of their NYC office
and here is their work
Afterward, the group visited Madison Square Park, where Giuseppe Penone's bronze trees were displayed.

We also went Mad. Sq. Eats- a semi-annual culinary market presented by UrbanSpace and the Madison Square Park Conservancy and indulged in some dishes that feature the area's best food and drink.
This was a wonderfully educational and fun time for all who attended
I was in the city on the west side at Pier 62 or Chelsea Pier and while looking for parking I ran into this art display. Seeing sheep with rolling meadows in such an urban environment was a complete impact to me!
The art display that you see in the pictures below are a total of 25 sheep statues that have taken over a gas station on New York's west side. The art display was put up by the public art program Getty Station. The work is done by Michael Shvo and Paul Kasmin Gallery, who have brought back the cartoonish pieces of the late French artist Fracois-Xavier Lalanne. This gas station property will eventually be transformed into luxurious residences but until then the property will be home to this art display.
