George hargreaves was born in 1952. He lives in Atlanta, Houston, Nashville, Oklahoma City and Mount Vernon, Illinois. He studied at Southern Illinois University for a year. During his trip, he was at the top of the flat peak in Rocky Mountain National Park. He was deeply moved by the surrounding peaks, the snow in early summer and the quiet lake-"I was so excited that I was on the verge of fear in the process of integrating with nature." George hargreaves later said: "My feeling and experience of the integration of human body and consciousness began here." 1977 graduated from the School of Environmental Design, University of Georgia, USA with a bachelor's degree in landscape architecture (BLA). 1979 graduated with honors from the Graduate School of Design of Harvard University with a Master's degree in Landscape Architecture (MLA). After graduation, I worked for the famous SWA Design Group in America. Because of his outstanding performance, he was entrusted with the important task of main designer two years later. 1983, Hargreaves founded his own Hargreaves design office and started a new attempt in landscape architecture practice. At the same time, he also served as a visiting professor at the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard University, engaged in theoretical research and teaching of landscape architecture. Since 1996, he has served as the head of the Department of Landscape Architecture of the Graduate School of Design of Harvard University, and is a professor named after Peter Louis Hombeck. Representative works: Buys Park [2] 1988, Hargreaves Associates was selected by Palo Alto Public Art Committee to design a 30-acre landfill in Palo Alto, California. On the garbage mountain with thin soil layer, george hargreaves has created a unique waterfront park through careful terrain shaping-this is one of the most important representative works of george hargreaves-Bakersby Park. Bakesby park

For a long time, george hargreaves has been paying great attention to the utilization of abandoned land. In this design, george hargreaves has created as many natural features as possible: the whole park is covered by large tracts of natural grassland, and every rainy season, large tracts of weeds turn into lush green, presenting a spectacular and moving scene that is difficult to create and describe artificially. On the sloping terrain, when the wind blows the natural grassland, the attractive water flow leads people to the gate of the earth in the valley, while on the hillside, the mound group is used as a metaphor for the shell piles filled in place when Indians fish and hunt. The bike path winding in the mountains is paved with broken shells. Bird-watching platform was built along the mountain, hidden in the weeds selected by george hargreaves. The V-shaped armband sequence formed by the isolation pier in expressway has become an extension of the airport runway near the park. However, the most striking thing here is the sketch with distinctive artificial artistic characteristics-the hills and telephone pole fields on the top of the mountain, which embodies the obvious abstraction of nature. The virtual inclined plane formed at the top of the telephone pole and the undulating real surface on the earth mountain form a strong sense of place. The long and bright biogas flame here reminds people of the history of the base all the time, thus giving people infinite reverie. In a word, this is a leisure park that needs people's heart to experience. Design of Sigma Theater and Campus Center Greening in University of Cincinnati Sigma Outdoor Theater is an important place for students of University of Cincinnati to communicate every day. Besides performing small plays, it can also be used for parties and other purposes. Located in the geometric center of the university campus, the theater is a landmark at the intersection of major roads. After careful consideration, the stone stands, the sloping grass and the paths interspersed among them seem to be randomly arranged, making the atmosphere here extremely relaxed and active. This small theater can hold 2500 people in total. Sigma Sigma Theatre

Adjacent to the small theater is the central green space of the campus. George hargreaves sketched many magical curves on the green space, which seemed to contain great tension. The breeze blows through the open grass, and the swaying grass is like a trickle, which has become the most attractive area on campus. In addition, george hargreaves also made a master plan for campus greening for the University of Cincinnati. Environmental design of public areas in 2000 Sydney Olympic Games

Hargreaves Associates, after winning the international tender, won the right to undertake the overall conceptual design and landscape design of the public area of Homebush in Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. This area is not only the main place for people to communicate during the Olympic Games, but also the new center of Sydney in the new millennium. In addition, George Hargreaves successfully designed the Olympic Square here, which is a place to welcome tourists, athletes and spectators from all over the world, and also the largest trade square in Australia. Covering an area of 9.5hm2, it can accommodate 300,000 people at the same time. The ground of the square is slightly inclined, bringing the surrounding memorial buildings into the venue. The floor pattern, which is composed of historical origins and grid of specific sites, and a series of large light stands on the edge of the square reflect the color characteristics of Australian landscape in red and ochre, which strengthens the characteristics of the square. In addition, "green fingers" composed of rows of trees connect the city center with the surrounding parks. There are two striking water features here: one is the "fig forest fountain" located at the height of the square, and the 3m rainbow-like fountain combines the feeling of history and reality; The other is the "Northern Waterscape Wetland" fountain in the mangrove wetland at the lower part of the square. This large arc fountain group with a radius of 12m reproduces the beauty of hydraulic power, which is spectacular and exciting.
