MoMA's first survey of contemporary landscape design has ended but its website still remains.

“Groundswell portrays the surge of creativity in the contemporary created landscape by presenting a diverse selection of plazas, public parks, and urban sectors — found through the United States, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East — that have recently been completed or are in the process of being realized.”

Africa, South America, and Australia are (un)characteristically not represented. Our loss. Or is it theirs?
