April 25 - Cheryl Barton, Landscape Architect, The Office of Cheryl Barton, (SF).

Cheryl Barton is a Landscape Architect practicing in San Francisco. Integrating the ideas of art, architecture and landscape, her firm’s award-winning design work extends traditional notions of landscape architecture. The design philosophy is strongly site specific - seeking to establish compelling places that integrate natural and cultural realms. Context, history and contemporary design strategies are employed to inform the making of landscapes and to clarify and animate space. Landscape is addressed as a powerful medium that can transform human values as well as create physical settings. She received her Master’s degree from the Harvard Graduate School of Design and is a Fellow of the American Society of Landscape Architects.

May 9 - Scott Erdy, Architect, Erdy McHenry Architecture, Philadelphia.

Scott has more than fifteen years experience in the profession with a diverse background working in collaboration with some of the great architects of our time, both in Europe and the United States. Scott’s work has been recognized by the American Institute of Architects for excellence in design, but more importantly, his work is often recognized by client’s and colleagues alike for its response to functional requirements in a way that would not have been considered in the early project stages.

May 23 - Scott Wyatt, Architect, NBBJ, Seattle.

Scott Wyatt is the managing partner and principal of NBBJ, an established and growing international architecture firm founded in 1943. The firm’s specialties include healthcare, commercial architecture, higher education, research and advanced technology, and urban design and planning. The firm has offices around the globe including Beijing, Shanghai, London, and Dubai. NBBJ is currently designing the 1.2 million square-foot Singapore Residences at Marina Bay, which will reportedly be that city’s tallest apartment complex when finished in 2007. NBBJ architects are referred to as “Artists of Change” and see architecture as “commissioned” public art that must have a sense of social responsibility.
