But work of SmithGroup JJR is so much more. From the firm's roots in landscape architecture, they have grown into a multi-disciplinary practice that goes far beyond creating beautiful spaces. SmithGroup JJR projects address the complex relationship between humans and their environment, and integrate the characteristics of the land with the use patterns of that land. We are driven by the process of discovery, by the opportunity to create places that make a difference in people's lives. Attractive and innovative design is indeed an important part of every project, as this book demonstrates. SmithGroup JJR believe that good design goes hand in hand with good planning, a process that encompasses everything from civil engineering and landscape architecture to environmental science, urban planning and so much more. SmithGroup JJR's practice: celebrating the land and strenthening the inseparable relationship humans have with it.
