  • Garden Designers – Biographies
    Garden Designers – Biographies Tom Stuart-Smith Tom Stuart-Smith Ltd is a landscape design practice with an international reputation for making gardens that combine naturalism and modernity. The practice was established in 1998. Work since has ranged from large gardens and parks open to the public, to smaller private gardens. Tom Stuart-Smith has also designed a number of gardens for the Chelsea Flower Show. Eight of these have been awarded gold medals, and three have won ‘Best in Show’. Most projects are located in the UK and Europe, with a few undertaken further afield. Despite the scale and complexity of our work we remain a small practice. Nine landscape architects and designers work under the direction of Tom Stuart-Smith, who is closely involved with each project. Townshend Landscape Architects Townshend Landscape Architects is an award-winning practice formed in 1988 by Robert Townshend. We are an established leading practice with an international team of landscape architects, urban designers, architects and artists. The practice specialises in designing the landscape, urban design and public realm. We work on all aspects of a project, from inception, local authority and public consultations, planning strategies and gaining planning permissions, concept and detailed design, construction and the successful delivery of a project. We believe our individual and well thought through designs and extensive knowledge of high quality detailing show our passion, commitment and understanding in designing long- lasting places for people in the United Kingdom and abroad. Olin OLIN creates distinguished landscapes and urban designs worldwide. Our work is predicated upon social engagement, craft, detail, materiality and timelessness.

  • Landscape Matters: News from Gls at Dumbarton Oaks
    LANDSCAPE MATTERS: NEWS FROM GLS AT DUMBARTON OAKS The program in Garden and Landscape Studies at Dumbarton Oaks was established in 1972 to support advanced scholarship in garden history and landscape architecture, encompassing the study of culturally and artistically significant landscapes around the world from ancient times to the present. The program seeks to deepen the un- derstanding of landscape and gardens as a field of knowledge and research and as a practice carried out by land- scape architects, landscape artists, and gardeners. The activities of the program include residential fellowships, short-term pre-doctoral residencies, one-month research stipends, project grants for field research, public lectures and symposia, and temporary installations of contemporary art as well as the new Mellon Initiative in Urban Landscape Studies. An active publications program produces symposium proceedings, translations of significant texts in a series on the history of gardens and landscape architecture entitled ex horto, and occasional monographs, reprints, and studies in contemporary landscape design. Scholars have access to unparalleled resources, including a vibrant intellectual community, an extensive research library and Rare Book Collection, and the renowned gar- dens of Dumbarton Oaks. We are pleased to share with you the following news about the past academic year, and announcements regarding 2015–16 fellows, fellowship applications, new programs, forthcoming colloquium and symposium, and new pub- lications.

  • AIA Committee on Design Conference, Columbus, Indiana April 12-15, 2012: “Defining Architectural Design Excellence”
    AIA Committee on Design conference, Columbus, Indiana April 12-15, 2012: “Defining Architectural Design Excellence” Last year Columbus, Indiana was rediscovered in the national media with the public opening of the Miller House and Gardens. An exquisite design collaboration of Eero Saarinen, Alexander Girard and Dan Kiley, completed in 1957, the landmark has been declared “America’s most significant modernist house”. While the house is now owned by the Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA) and public tours are available through the Columbus Visitors Center, the tours are often sold out, limited in numbers and access. The IMA is providing the AIA-COD the opportunity to visit the house and gardens as an “open house”, with guides distributed throughout to provide information, and is allowing us personal photography. If you have visited Columbus in the past, you are aware of its recognition for its many modern buildings designed by nationally and internationally recognized architects, including Eliel Saarinen, Eero Saarinen, Harry Weese, Robert Venturi, I.M. Pei, Gunnar Birkerts, Kevin Roche, and Richard Meier. Columbus has been called the “mecca of modern architecture” and “the Athens of the Prairie”. In 2000, in a highly unusual move, six modern architecture and landscape architecture sites were designated as National Historic Landmarks; including First Christian Church (Eliel Saarinen), Irwin Union Bank (Eero Saarinen), Miller House and Gardens, North Christian Church (Eero Saarinen), Mabel McDowell Elementary School (John Carl Warnecke), and First Baptist Church (Harry Weese). The AIA COD conference will visit each of these locations. The commitment to design excellence has continued in Columbus the last 10 years, in fact thriving to have had the most construction per capita through the Great Recession.
