A Life in Context: Finding Form in Lewis T. May A LIFE IN CONTEXT: FINDING FORM IN LEWIS T. MAY by NATALIE A. STACKABLE Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON May 2006 Copyright © by Natalie A. Stackable 2006 All Rights Reserved ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Lewis T. May so thoughtfully provided his time, project materials and insights which have enabled the creation of this thesis. I would also like to thank Ken Bailey, his studio manager for working with me to schedule visits and interviews and ensuring that I received the necessary information to complete this thesis. I also need to thank his associates who gave of their time: Nancy Fleshman, Verrick Walker, Sandy Lynch, Richard Rome, Van Cox, and M. David Low. Without these folks, it would not have been possible to obtain a full and complete understanding of the many roles and contributions May has made to the field. Additionally, I would like to thank my committee chair, Gary O. Robinette and the other committee members, Dr. Pat Taylor and David Hopman for having faith in my ability to complete the thesis while I resided three hundred miles away from their expertise and guidance. Last, but certainly not least, my husband, Phil, for encouraging me to remain focused and helping me overcome the obstacles I encountered during this process. This exegesis would not have been possible without his support and faith in allowing me to attend the MLA program at the University of Texas at Arlington while he remained back at the homestead in Houston. April 17, 2006 iii ABSTRACT A LIFE IN CONTEXT: FINDING FORM IN LEWIS T. MAY Publication No. ______ Natalie A. Stackable, M.L.A. The University of Texas at Arlington, 2006 Supervising Professor: Gary O. Robinette This thesis examines the life and career of Lewis T. May (1946 –), FASLA. During his three decades of practice, Mr. May has made exceptional contributions in landscape architecture as a practitioner, author, and academic, both domestically and abroad. He is the recipient of over 100 awards for his projects. A qualitative methodology is used to understand his contributions in a historical and personal context. His ability to communicate effectively, both graphically and verbally, is one reason for his success. Consequently, this thesis creates a framework for understanding his process in the field of landscape architecture. iv Open-ended interviews and participant observation provide information relevant to his design philosophy. The information from these techniques reveals the significant events and influences that impacted Mr. May’s professional career and provides the means to interpret how his role has differed from his contemporaries. The research concludes with a summary and discussion of the findings. v TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS....................................................................................... iii ABSTRACT .............................................................................................................. iv LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS..................................................................................... xi LIST OF TABLES..................................................................................................... xv Chapter 1.

MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN “There is perhaps no greater measure of “a school’s success than for its graduates “to command the respect of those whom “they were prepared to serve.” Each year the College of Architecture at Texas A&M University hosts a special event honoring the many extraordinary former students who over the years have laid the foundation on which the college has built a tradition of excellence through academics and research. The Outstanding Alumni Award is the highest honor the college bestows on its former students. There is perhaps no greater measure of a school’s success than for its graduates to command the respect of those whom they were prepared to serve. The former students we honor this year, as well as those recognized previously, have not only gained the respect of their peers, but have been acclaimed as pioneers in their respective fields. They have advanced their professions with new knowledge wrought through innovation, extraordinary talent, and hard work.
