In October, faculty and students at the University of Georgia College of Environment and Design had the opportunity to connect with professionals and share knowledge at the ASLA 2023 Conference.
Dean's Advisory Council members Bob Hughes (BLA '77) and Ed Castro (BLA '88) received high honors from ASLA and UGA this June.
Matt Whitaker (MLA '01) and Thomas Brown (BLA '10) of WMWA Landscape Architects have been awarded the ASLA Honor Award for their work on the Market + Georgia Public Place project. The project, located around the historic Patten Towers in downtown Chattanooga, was the result of a collaboration between WMWA and local artist Genesis the Greykid. Through an approach that "elevated the role of engagement as the primary design method", the team was able to implement a project that is reflective of the needs of Chattanooga's traditionally underserved residents.
The UGA College of Environment + Design is honored to announce that Christina Hite, UGA CED Alumna and chair of the Dean's Advisory Council, has been elevated to the American Society of Landscape Architects' 2021 Council of Fellows. The Fellowship is among the highest honors that the ASLA bestows upon its members, and it is used to recognize outstanding commitment to the profession of landscape architecture. Nominated by the Florida Chapter ASLA, Hite was recognized for excellence in Leadership and Management and was one of only 35 professionals nationwide to be named a Fellow this year.
