Each issue of the Ground Up Journal published by UC Berkeley’s Department of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning contains a central theme, and for Issue 08, the theme was ‘Home’.  David, and adjunct professor at UC Berkeley for the past 20 years, included a piece discussing how his home- Iowa- has informed and shaped his designs.  “The nostalgic revelation that I must listen to is the Iowa landscape - prairies, oak woodlands, riparian corridors, rolling fields, hedgerows, pastures, and grids of quite gravel roads that go everywhere and nowhere.  Whether frozen in the grey light of January or teeming with the force of nature that is summer in the Midwest, the land is pure, strong and restrained.” David then went on to discuss how this nostalgia has informed the design approach for our Heartwood Preserve Project in Omaha, Nebraska. — Each issue of the Ground Up Journal published by UC Berkeley’s Department of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning contains a central theme, and for Issue 08, the theme was ‘Home’.
