Landscape Architects Honor U. of Illinois Professor’s Teaching

The American Society of Landscape Architects is honoring Terence G. Harkness, a professor of landscape architecture at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, with the society’s 2007 Jot D. Carpenter Teaching Medal. The award is given for “sustained and significant contributions to landscape architecture education.” Former students describe Mr. Harkness as “moving seamlessly from presenting a complex design issue to respectfully questioning a jury, to actively listening to one-on-one desk critique that bring out the best in a young designer,” says the society’s news release.
