About Pioneers Oral Histories
The Pioneers of American Landscape Design庐&苍产蝉辫;Oral History Project is an ever-growing, award-winning series of videotaped first-person interviews with significant practitioners.
The goal of the series is to make these practitioners鈥 stories available to future generations of stewards, designers, researchers and heritage travelers. The series format examines each designer鈥檚 personal and professional history, their overall design philosophy and how that approach was carried out in their most emblematic projects. Richly edited, the video segments include never-before-seen archival footage, new photography, and on鈥恖ocation videography. In addition to advancing historical research, the Pioneers of American Landscape Design庐&苍产蝉辫;initiative fosters a richer, deeper appreciation for often invisible, typically little-known, and, in some instances, threatened works of landscape architecture.
