Canadian landscape architect Cornelia Hahn Oberlander dies at 99

As she noted in an extensive oral history released by the Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit The Cultural Landscape Foundation (TCLF) in 2008:

“The future for landscape architecture is immense. And if landscape architects don’t take the opportunity at this point, while our governments are waffling on climate change, if they don’t learn this climate change inside-out, namely storm-water management, limiting footprints, using plants that don’t need much maintenance or water, if they don’t seize that opportunity, then the landscape architects are asleep under the ground.”
