Success at Perkins+Will is measured by how imaginatively a client's vision is translated into a finished product. The firm designs and strategises with a philosophy that places people at the centre of their work; collaboration is what propels their design process forward. This approach is a Perkins+Will legacy, dating back to one of the firm's first and most prestigious projects, the 1930s Crow Island School, designed with the insight founder Larry Perkins gained from attending school with the children. This monograph explores the firm's work through its rich history, examining a variety of completed and conceptually designed projects that promote the firm's philosophy of "ideas and buildings that honour the broader goals of society”.

Open spaces, sport and outdoor recreation are important components of people's lives. They provide many cultural, social, economic and environmental benefits and contribute positively to physical and mental health.

The primary purpose of sports parks is to provide for organized sports and physical activity. These spaces need to function with a high degree of organization and should cater for sports uses ranging from junior team training to major competitive events, at both the local and city-wide levels.
