I had a chance to visit Andropogon today down in Philly. Not that they care, but they have been on my A-list since I was a grad student at LSU. LSU is very close to Crosby Arboretum which remains one of their great designs mixing ecology and design. Crosby also features a great pavillion by E. Fay Jones who is best known for his Thorncrown Chapel, but also designed John Scruggs' house outside of Lexington.
Andropogon also did restoration work at Grey Towers (as pictured above).
Aside from the great work they continue to do, we talked about their use of GIS. They told me that GIS, and the contextual work it introduces to a project, has become integral their process and they way they conceptualize their work.
Finally, their office is in Manayunk. Very cool little downtown that has been helped along by WRT.
