Description

A design series created for emerging professionals seeking local Austin inspiration. Christine Ten Eyck, founding principal of Ten Eyck Landscape Architects, based in Austin, Texas. During her career of more than 35 years, Ms. Ten Eyck has drawn upon her intuition and knowledge to build a body of work that celebrates the inherent beauty of Texas, the culture of its people, and the sacred path of water, pioneering contemporary regionalism in the American Southwest. Her work illustrates the capacity for place-based landscape architecture to address pressing global issues such as climate, habitat, and water-quality protection, while also creating restorative outdoor environments that are infused with natural beauty, encourage social interaction, and foster human healing. TELA’s unique experience and ability to fold the natural environment into their designs made them a perfect fit for Pease Park, whose immense canopy, shaded trails and green meadows have always enchanted park-goers. Hear about the project, Phase 2 and the recently installed "Blue Trees" Exhibit.
