What happens when art, ecology, and landscape come together?

AGL has had the privilege of providing Landscape Architecture services at Ortenstone Gardens and Sculpture Park since its inception. Along the way, certain installations have felt especially meaningful. Convergence is one of those.

Created by artist Hans Gilsdorf , Convergence features three bronze Sprites representing the three distinct ecological biomes that converge in the Detroit Lakes region. botanica floristry and Blair Westrum Landscaping developed the planting beds that complement each Sprite and further connect the artwork to the landscape it represents. We are grateful for the ongoing collaboration with Project 412 and the many project partners that make this place special.

How can a parking lot be designed to also function as an event space?

That was the challenge we faced during the renovation of the Historic Bismarck Depot.

The design eliminates traditional curb and gutter in front of the building, allowing the parking area to feel and function more like a plaza. Clay paver walkways complement the building’s historic roof tiles, while thoughtful edge treatments, site details, and an iconic overhead lighting scheme help define the space. The result is a flexible community gathering place that brings good energy to downtown Bismarck.

Thanks to Knutson Realty for investing in one of Bismarck’s most iconic structures, and to the Funatix Events for always filling the space with family, friends and good times!

Dakota Community Bank & Trust Ballpark has long been a gathering place for baseball in Dickinson, and recent improvements are helping prepare it for many more seasons to come.

AGL worked alongside Apex Engineering and Dickinson Parks & Recreation on improvements to the historic ballpark, including an upgraded artificial turf infield. This renovation provides a more reliable playing surface and helps extend the baseball season in western North Dakota.

The have wrapped up another season, but we couldn’t let summer go without one more look at baseball on the new turf. See you next spring Big Sticks!

Each summer, AGL’s BIG IDEA internship program challenges one student intern to take on a real community opportunity through planning and design.

This year, Soumik Roy’s work began with The Rourke Art Gallery + Museum’s sculpture court in downtown Moorhead. As ideas developed, the project grew into a bigger question: How could the Sculpture Court, former library and The Rourke be reimagined as an arts district in Downtown Moorhead?

Over the summer, Soumik engaged with stakeholders, explored possibilities, developed a master plan and presented his vision to The Rourke team.

Thanks to The Rourke for being part of the process and to Soumik for spending the summer with us, thinking BIG.

AGL is excited to be part of the team advancing the renovation and expansion of City Hall Building. Our role will focus on the design of a new outdoor civic plaza, transforming the adjacent parking lot into a welcoming public space.

We’re grateful for the City of Bismarck's commitment to a comprehensive design approach that considers the building and site as one cohesive civic environment. We look forward to working alongside Endeavor North Design and the broader project team to create a functional and engaging civic space for the community.

Have you been to the University of Mary lately?

In 2017, we worked with the University of Mary on a campus master plan that recommended improved pedestrian and vehicle circulation, enhanced aesthetics, and a framework for future growth. Nearly a decade later, the University continues to boldly advance on that vision with parking lot and circulation system improvements in support of the new athletic facility. The transformations are remarkable. We cannot wait to attend a game at the new venue. Go Marauders!

Developed over three phases, Kent Pelton Nature Park has grown into an inclusive play destination designed around accessibility, creativity, and its western North Dakota setting. The most recent phase expands those opportunities with inclusive play features and a design inspired by the character of the region. We’re proud to have helped Watford City Parks & Recreation create a place where thoughtful design makes play more accessible to everyone.

Meet Soumik Roy.

He's spending the summer with us as part of AGL's "What's the Big Idea?" internship, bringing fresh ideas, curiosity, and a healthy appreciation for the power of a sketchbook (and coffee).

We asked Soumik a few questions to learn more about what inspires him, the places he'd redesign, and why he believes great public spaces can compete with screen time. His answers remind us why we love this profession—it's equal parts creativity, problem-solving, and imagining what our communities could become.

Q: What drew you to landscape architecture?
A: I always wanted a profession where sketching in a park could count as work. Landscape architecture turned out to be exactly that plus a lot of problem-solving and creativity.

Q: If you could redesign any place in the world, what would it be? A: Parking lots. They take up so much space, yet they're often treated as an afterthought. There's huge potential to make them greener, more functional, and actually enjoyable places to move through.

Q: What's one landscape architecture project, park, or public space that inspires you?
A: High Line in New York. It took an old railway and turned it into one of the coolest public spaces in the world. That's the kind of transformation that makes me think, "Okay, this profession is pretty cool."

Q: Coffee, energy drinks, or pure determination?
A: Coffee gets me started. Deadlines bring out the pure determination.

Q: What's your "big idea" for making communities better?
A: Designing spaces so engaging that people accidentally spend more time outdoors than scrolling on their phones.

Q: When you're not designing, where can we find you?
A: Probably watching anime, experimenting with a new recipe, or convincing myself that cooking counts as another creative outlet.

We're so grateful to have Soumik on the team this summer and look forward seeing what comes of his Big Ideas! Can you guess where Soumik’s work this summer is being focused?
