@ Noah, sorry ,  should have been clear in previous comment, the most of what I said refers to the article. Only the last comment to your opinion specifically  of Corner, Field Op, but you seem to have  correctly understood the different thoughts.. …..

I just don’t see Field Op as having a real design inspiration, unlike Garett Ekbo, or Martha Schwartz, or, to move into architecture, Gwathmey, Renzo Piano, Frank Gehry..These guys have design philosophies that they have implemented, and that are consistent..I see Field Op as more good at getting the big commissions, than as an office that has a real style,  or philosophy, that is evident in their designs…

and I am curious..What is Field Operations design inspiration, that differentiates them?

I just don’t see it..But I am old, and (full disclosure) Corner lived on my hall in our West Philly apartment bulding, while at Penn..I had to fight him for time on the huge Vox Intergraph computer McHarg had bought, a million dollars of dreams, at the time..

Where is the design inspiration, as opposed to the people skills that get you the project..

Perhaps I am missing something..I really would like to know..If one described the designs of Fresh Kills and the High Line, how would you distinguish their styles, from, say any other office landscape architect of today..
