The Design To design the Park’s layout and supervise its construction, Sir Edgar Bowring had commissioned world renowned Land- scape Architect, Frederick Todd from Montreal. Todd previously worked for the Frederick Law Olsmstead firm – one of the most not- ed and reputable landscape architecture firms in North America. Though it is said that Todd was officially in charge of the project, it was fellow landscape architect, Rudolf H. Cochius who was responsible for bringing the park’s design to light. Though historically, there has been some debate re- its natural beauty and lush designs, it was evident that garding who specifically scenic landscape.

Cochius was in charge of overseeing all construction and subsequent Landscape design and was under his domain that the park by and by came to life, but the design itself belonged to Todd. This is of great importance seeing that while Cochius name is so well engrained 5 into the parks historical essence – and deservedly so – Todd has become a rather hidden and unknown figure. 1 Historians however have suggested that there is no evidence to support this.

The flashing pattern is like certain visual fragments in our lives. Dignified by the psycho­ logical designation of gestalt, they gain us efficiency and blindness. "Bird recognition is a perversion of natural history when bird watchers aspire to no more than the bee with its tiny cerebrum can do .
