In an article entitled, “Collaborative Design Smashes Social and Economic Barriers,” author, Rachel Kruse, presents The Commonground as an example of collaborative design process for the Landscape Architecture Network. In particular, Kruse acknowledges LAND COLLECTIVE’s belief that landscape is the arena in which everyone participates, no matter their position in society: “This concept and mindset about landscape architecture was not only a driving force for the Eskenazi Health Hospital plaza design but it continues to shape the profession. When designers embrace the idea that landscapes provide a space and place for everyone in our society it drives the creation of more holistic and accessible projects across the world.”
