78 Peter Walker’s Point

Peter Walker, FASLA, and PWP Landscape Architecture have transformed a runway-sized shipping terminal in Sydney into the Barangaroo Reserve, a lush cascade of terraces and open space that resurrects a headland erased long ago. More than 50 pages of photos, drawings, and details show the park’s many interlocking features—such as the stepped foreshore, sinuous paths through dense gardens, and a colossal public interior space—lodged atop an epic array of site-hewn sandstone that connects directly back to the city.
