Summary: " One does not expect the U.S. Army to be a leader in urban design. That's what makes this project so unexpected and so exciting. The project document is nicely organized and presented, with each page carefully designed and arranged. Visually, the site plans are exactly right, and the photos and datatables provide no more but no less information than they need to. What really sets this document apart is its comprehensiveness. Where others start and end with lists of projects, this document clearly explains the planning process, planning goals and objectives, and visual design themes and principles. Better yet, this project carefully demystifies site and urban design best practices, making them easy to understand and apply elsewhere." - John Landis APA - Juror
