(history continued)
Over 3,300 campus landscapes are found across America today. They represent
several centuries of landscape architectural design. These nationally
significant places not only represent the unique character of each region
(in terms of climate, culture and the land itself), but they also represent
an extraordinary array of design excellence. Such pioneering landscape
architects as ^ Frederick Law Olmsted (Stanford,
California) ^, Warren Manning (Amherst College, Massachusetts)
and Beatrix Farrand (Princeton, New Jersey) designed major American university
campuses. This innovative work did not end with their nineteenth and early
twentieth-century creations: there also are many, often more "invisible",
post-war landscapes. The innovative work, in California alone, by such
modernist landscape architects as Sasaki-Walker Associates (Foothills
College, Los Altos), Ralph Cornell (University of California at Los Angeles),
Thomas Church (University of California at Santa Cruz) and Harriett Wimmer
(University of California, San Diego). While even the recognized early
work is under threat from recent campus master planning and development,
the newer sites may be even more at risk.
