"He's gotten away from the soft pornography of the flower," said Charles Waldheim, the director of the landscape architecture program at the University of Toronto. "He's interested in the life cycle, how plant material ages over the course of the year," and how it relates to the plants around it. Like a good marriage, his compositions must work well together as its members age.

Wir hätten gerne, dass Architektur den Menschen überlassen bleibt. In mir nagt der Zweifel: Bildet Architektur aus sich heraus einen totalitären Raum? Wenn man einen Raum entwirft, gestaltet man dann auch notwendigerweise das Verhalten der Menschen in diesem Raum? Ich hätte gerne, dass wir das Gegenteil tun.
