Gravity Field wins American Society of Landscape Architects NY Award

Terrain Work is excited to announce that Gravity Field has won an American Society of Landscape Architects New York Merit award for 2025! We are delighted to receive two awards, including Gravity Field, from a record number of submissions this year!   

Gravity Field demonstrates the robust adaptation of plants in the most inhospitable conditions. Plants are extraordinarily adaptive and essential to life. 171 sunflowers are grown upside-down and curve up towards the sun, defying gravity and exhibiting phototropic, gravitropic, and heliotropic properties.  While the future is uncertain, Gravity Field sees optimism in the ability of plants, and all organisms, to adapt and thrive in the face of climate change.
