The Runstad Center congratulates Thaisa Way, whose new book, “The Landscape Architecture of Richard Haag: From Modern Space to Urban Ecological Design” was recently published by University of Washington Press. UW Today picked up the story and talked with Thaisa about Rich Haag, his legacy, and how his work demonstrates that thoughtful design of the public realm – parks, plazas, streets, and campuses – has a critical impact on our society.
Thaisa is a 2015 Runstad Affiliate Fellow, who recently returned with her cohorts from a trip to South America, examining the urban landscape in the cities of Santiago, Rio de Janeiro, and Curitiba.
