About

My name is Rebecca Fish Ewan and I teach landscape architecture history (LPH 310 and LPH 311) at Arizona State University. From time to time students (former and current) of my history of landscape architecture courses come to my office and tell me of their visits to places I have presented in class. I set up this site as a place for these students to share images from their visits. It may take a while to build, but the hope is to have an archive of images from around the world of landscape projects that continue to inspire and enrich the discipline of landscape architecture.

 I have also set up a Flickr site for uploading a few of my photographs of landscape architecturally significant places. I linked it to this blog as a widget.

How This Works

Because students tend to be more technically savey than me, I think this image sharing blog will work best if I do as little as possible. In other words, this site can work to link students/alumni to other websites where students/alumni have publicly posted images of historically significant landscape architecture projects they have visited. I’m happy to post the links and a few images, provided these few rules are followed:

1. The images have notes, so visitors will know at what they are looking.
2. The images are in focus, well-composed, and could be rated PG.
3. The photos are of places or from regions and historical time frames relevant to landscape architecture history

We’ll try this process for a while, see how well it works, and tweak it as needed. Thanks to any and all who contribute to this site. It has the potential to be a useful and fun resource for future students who share a love for the past.
