This undergraduate study in Landscape Architecture from 1975 to 1983 at University of Oregon was an introduction to the profession of designing with nature ... creating beautiful, meaningful, empowering, memorable, and ecologically vital places that only a living palette can deliver.
As an interdisciplinary program, it introduced me to emerging global environmental issues, to the arts of many different cultures, and to a skill of thinking conceptually at many scales; from the design for a small courtyard to the land use plan for a region.
It fed a desire to build places that grew out of the ground and into the light - places that responded to their environment, changed with the seasons, changed the spirit of place over time, restored rather than extinguished life, and reached full elegance in a future generation.
