David Evans: My Life in the Landscape

Описание: About the lecture:
For more than 50 years, the landscape has been at the center of my professional life. From my early days in the design/build business, to my later career in downtown revitalization and teaching, the past 50 years have enriched my life immeasurably, and taught me an array of valuable lessons. These lessons are at the heart of my presentation, with the hope of inspiring students as they dream and shape their future.
