This month's event will feature landscape architect Ilse Frank, PLA, ASLA, Assoc. AIA. Ilse is Founding Principal of Studio Balcones. She views projects through the lens of an architect and a landscape architect, and pays particular attention to city and regional planning.

At a finer scale, she approaches public space and parks in tandem with buildings— addressing relationships of scale, materials, and inside/outside connections.
