Other Projects by Sasaki
Water Works Park
Firm
Type
The Water Works Parkitecture competition, held by Des
Moines Water Works and the Iowa State University Department of Landscape
Architecture, sought proposals to integrate the ecological and social functions
of the park and river into a unified landscape, inspire the community, and
generate discussion about watershed issues. The competition also called for
solutions for ecological and recreational challenges specific to Water Works
Park. Sasaki’s winning plan—developed in collaboration with RDG and AES—shapes
two distinct yet complementary sections of Water Works Park: the wild and the
engineered. The wild offers immersion into the park through activities like
horseback riding and hiking. The engineered is the active heart of the park and
provides more structured activities and events. The centerpiece of the
engineered landscape is a recreational watercourse, experienced on standing
paddleboards, that is linked to interpretive opportunities regarding the role
of the site in harvesting and cleaning drinking water.
