Academic Campus | Cambridge, Massachusetts
Overlooking Kendall Square and the Charles River, the new MIT Sloan School precinct is a major sustainable expansion that includes six courtyards and a green roof.
Halvorson provided a broad range of landscape design strategies, working closely with architects Moore Ruble Yudell and Bruner | Cott. The site includes a series of courtyards, plazas and green roofs. Halvorson also collaborated with internationally-renowned artist Cai Guo-Qiang to create “Ring Stone,” a striking 50-foot-long sculpture consisting of twelve interlocking granite rings framing a symbolic grove of pine trees.
