Since joining OLIN nearly 30 years ago, Ms. Weiler has risen to great prominence in the field of landscape architecture as a designer, speaker and writer. Her expertise interfacing with complex engineering systems and construction technologies has applied to projects of myriad locales and typologies, including the US Embassy in Berlin; the Mission Bay Master Plan in San Francisco; LDS Conference Center in Salt Lake City, Utah; and the Anne d’Harnoncourt Sculpture Garden at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. She is currently leading OLIN’s design for Dilworth Plaza on the west side of Philadelphia’s historic City Hall. Ms. Weiler has lectured widely, including talks at the TEDx lecture series and panels at the American Society of Landscape Architects Annual Convention. She co-wrote the book Green Roof Systems: A Guide for the Planning, Design and Construction of Landscapes over Structure, which has become a primary resource for professionals in green roof design.  Ms. Weiler holds a Bachelor of Science in Landscape Architecture from the University of Wisconsin and a Master of Landscape Architecture from the University of Pennsylvania, where she is now a longstanding faculty member.  She also regularly teaches at Temple University and the University of Pennsylvania.
