Reply To: LA projects in Minneapolis

Tom Oslund has an exceptional design studio in Minneapolis. He lectured at Colorado State in 2008 and I had the good fortune of enjoying dinner with him and the other leaders of the SCASLA. Very nice guy. He does work all over the country but one project in MN that sticks out in my memory is the I35 Bridge reconstruction and memorial. If I were to find myself in the area, it would be on the top of my list of sites to visit along with Gold Medal Park, which if I remember correctly, isn’t far from the bridge, but don’t quote me on that. He also did some really neat things at the Twins Stadium, so check that out too. Even if you’re not a baseball person you’ll enjoy the unique design elements.

Have fun!!
