World Trade Center Finalist
For weeks this fall, we all sat on the edge of our seats as Sean
Corriel, a graduating senior, and his team moved through the final
stages of the WTC Competition for their entry, Garden of Lights.
Sean studied in Columbia's Two Cities program through Cornell Study
Abroad and entered the competition with his professor, Pierre David,
and fellow student, Jessica Kmetovic. In the final stages, Nina
Bassuk assisted the team in working through the urban horticultural
issues of the project, and the scheme was one of the final two considered.
We warmly congratulate Sean on this honor! http://www.landscape.cornell.edu/news_dept.html#wtc
