gardens climbing stairs
BilbaoJardín 2007 was a contest that solicited designs for garden plots of up to 80 square meters (about 860 square feet), to be built on scattered sites throughout the city. And when that project proved successful—132 contestants entered, 27 proposals were built—the contest was renewed for the summer of 2009. On the invitation of contest organizers, Balmori Associates (which worked on the downtown masterplan, and then judged Jardín contestants in 2007) contributed its own version to this year’s contest. Balmori’s park—descriptively named “The Garden That Climbs Stairs”—was completed over the summer.
