    HISTO RY '1 think what really sets us apart is not theprojects, not the work, but the idea that you can grow and evolve and sur'vive by tackling the difficult and the impossible. We're saying, 'Let'sgo where it's harder, where the answers haven't beenfound yet. ' " -Grant Jones Jones & Jones was founded by Grant Jones and Ilze Jones in December 1969 to practice landscape architecture, environmental planning, architecture and urban design as a fully integrated collaborative. Their mentors had been Victor Steinbrueck, Ibsen Nelson, Richard Haag, Hideo Sasaki, Ian McHarg, Garrett Eckbo, Ed Williams, Richard Moore, and Theodore Roethke. Grant and Ilze were'classmates in the Department of Architecture at the University of Washington, during the last half of the fifties.Although there was no department oflandscape architecture at that time, Richard Haag had joined the faculty in 1958 as a critic in the architectural studio. Haag influenced severalof the top architectural students during this period, including Grant and Ilze, Jerry Diethelm, FrankJames, Laurie Olin, Bob Hanna, and Gary Oakerlund, all of whom went on to become landscape architects and to practice and teach in the top schools in the East and West. Grant worked for Haag and Ilze worked for William Teufel before leaving for Boston in 1965, where Grant entered the Harvard Graduate School of Design and Ilze worked for Sasaki, Dawson and DeMay.

Planning Interaction in association with: Tunnell-Spangler-Walsh & Associates Jones & Jones Fishkind and Associates PLACE Alliance Miller Legg Gateway Planning Group Economic Stewardship Table of Contents LETTER OF INTEREST QUALIFICATIONS 1 PROJECT ORGANIZATION 12 QUALIFICATIONS AND REFERENCE 18 APPENDIX A 20 Letter of Interest July 22, 2011 South Florida Regional Planning Council 3440 Hollywood Boulevard, Suite 140 Hollywood, Florida 33021 Re: Statement of Qualifi cations: RVB Consultant (SOQ#06) To the Selection Committee: We’d like to introduce the Communities Vision Collaborative - a consortium of national practitioners and Florida professionals that will work with our client partners in conjunction with the region’s communities, stakeholders, institutions and businesses to create the Southeast Florida Regional Vision and Blueprint for Economic Prosperity. Our approach is to secure a sustainable economy for the region by listening to regional voices and articulating alternative choices, leading not to a static plan, but to a dynamic strategy. The heritage of Southeast Florida suggests that a livability blueprint be driven by shared objectives, by incentives, and by guidelines. Costs and benefi ts must be demonstrated through vision, research, and example, and options described in terms of impacts identifi ed with mitigations and adaptations applied, so that choices can be made and actions taken - not only through the political process but through individual and group initiatives. The test will be whether this strategy will be used when the consultants go away.
