There are few models for the successful use of temporarily vacant downtown lots. The organizers of this project, an architect and a landscape gardener, created a strategy to design and install a temporary public park for a prominent downtown space. The goal:
capture the originality of a local writer's work through creative combinations of garden elements with architectural structures. The summer and fall garden for 2004 was enjoyed by many community members and visitors to Princeton. It held numerous community events, including fashion shows, celebrations, lectures and readings, fairs and concerts.
