WHY WALTER HOOD IS CHARACTER APPROVEDThrough his innovative and award-winning work in landscape architecture, Walter Hood is redefining how we think about our surroundings. Landscape architecture was once a field not known for its ability to affect positive social change, but Hood had the character to see the potential for social good in his work. He is known for transforming neglected public spaces into places that are relevant and meaningful to their communities, allowing people to engage with their environs in new ways. In Oakland, California, Hood transformed a deserted traffic island under a freeway into a park that now hosts a popular farmer's market and concert series. For his pioneering vision and remarkable talent at turning his ideas into reality, Hood is truly Character Approved. |
