July 4 marked the reopening of the newly renovated Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute. On Saturday, August 9 from 3 – 4 in the auditorium at 225 South Street in Williamstown, Gary Hilderbrand, principal, Reed Hilderbrand Associates, discusses his role in leading the Clark’s new landscape design. Reed Hilderbrand, based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, created a sweeping redesign of the Clark’s 140-acre grounds, including creation of a three-tiered reflecting pool; upgrades to and expansion of walking trails; green roof systems; planting of 350 new trees (some 1000 trees planted overall); and creation of a new entry drive and landscaped parking area with water-permeable surfaces that feed into a rainwater and snowmelt collection system. – See more at: http://clarkart.edu/ImportedEvents/345-August-09-2014-300-PM-400-PM#sthash.HxpZzu9g.dpuf.
