Can anyone identify the site in the first picture? The landscape design is by Andrea Cochran, but I don't know which project it is. The second image is by Alison Brooks Architects. The new buildings in the second image refer visually to their context (the existing building they surround) but the abstracted shapes have lost their sense of purpose. In the first image the building does not reference its context visually through form or material, but by giving the context an integral role it demonstrates a deeper sense of respect for the context and yields a more harmonious result.
