Farewell Lawrence Halprin

This past week the landscape architecture community lost one of its most influential designers of the postwar era. Lawrence Halprin, FASLA, passed away at 93 on Sunday from natural causes. Halprin created many iconic landscapes such as Ghirardelli Square, San Fransisco, Lovejoy Park, Portland, Oregon and probably his most famous, FDR memorial in Washington D.C.

At the 2007 ASLA convention in San Fransisco I got the opportunity to hear Halprin speak at the closing general session.

I will post my photos of his work soon.
