MLA PROFESSOR + STUDENT AWARDED LAF GRANT

Eleven faculty Research Fellows and twelve high-performing landscape projects have been selected for Landscape Architecture Foundation’s (LAF) 2019 Case Study Investigation program.

Case Study Investigation (CSI) is a unique LAF research collaboration that matches faculty-student research teams with design firms to document the benefits of exemplary high-performing landscape projects.

Research Fellows lead the CSI collaboration and receive funding to support a student Research Assistant. Participants from each firm serve as liaisons and work with the academic team.

IIT Architecture's Professor Sarah Hanson and MLA candidate Matt Callone were selected as recipients of the 2019 Fellowship for research and development of the Regenstein Learning Campus at the Chicago Botanic Garden (Chicago), the Chicago Riverwalk (Chicago), and Argyle Shared Street (Chicago).

The 2019 CSI program begins in February and runs through early August.
