It's hard to imagine improving upon Calvert Vaux and Frederick Law Olmstead's 1858 design for Central Park, but a recent design competition from landscape architecture journal LA+ asked participants to redesign a post-apocalyptic park from scratch. Check out the five winning designs in this short video from The Real Deal.
Eco-terrorists with an army of beetles and bees have destroyed Central Park, stripping Frederick Law Olmsted’s landmark of its flora and fauna. It is barren and must be rebuilt.

Take a look at the five winning designs.
