James Corner was the topic of conversation in a recent blog post by Mark Hough, FASLA, on Planetizen. In the article, Hough discusses Corner’s transition from respected academic at PennDesign to a successful practitioner as principal at Field Operations. Hough argues that praise for Corner, particularly his firm’s seminal High Line, benefits the profession of landscape architecture as it reaffirms the efficacy of such projects to catalyze positive transition in urban landscapes.
