Excerpt from Habs/Haer Review, 1993 Economic Stimulus Bill Proposed The new Clinton Administration came to Washington with a commitment to get the economy moving again. This translated into the Economic Stimulus Supplemental Appropriation for Fiscal Year 1993 Rebuild America. We at habs/haer saw it as an opportunity for not only providing jobs but for documenting historic structures that for decades we haven't had funds to document. Habs/haer developed approximately thirty projects that were to be funded through million under this appropriation. The appropriation was contested by the Republicans and on April 20th I went to bed after hearing that the Senate Republican caucus was going to contest the package but they were going to let the summer jobs portion through. The next morning I woke up to the news that the entire package had gone down to defeat late the previous night. This is detailed in Appendix B, pages 87-92.

Introducing a revolutionary new approach to detail design in landscape architecture In this groundbreaking book, Niall Kirkwood of the Harvard Graduate School of Design takes a fresh,holistic approach to the theories, approaches, and practices of landscape detail. With the support of a wealth of graphic and written material taken from historic and contemporary landscape designwork, he clearly demonstrates the role that landscape detail plays in the design process. Going beyond theoretical considerations, Professor Kirkwood outlines landscape detail as a primary design activity, both pragmatic and poetic, using a range of built landscape design examples. A valuable resource for professionals and students in landscape architecture, architecture, urban design, and environmental design, The Art of Landscape Detail: * Provides a practical introduction to the aesthetic concerns, form, language, and expression of landscape detail * Explores a wide range of detail issues-including materials, climate, durability, implementation, and failure-and their influence on the overall detail design process * Examines detail design processes and research approaches that designers can apply in the analysis and development of their own work * Contains in-depth case studies of eight award-winning landscape architecture design projects, including provocative discussions with the designers on the establishment and evolution of their detail design philosophy * Features more than 150 images illustrating forms and site detail from national and international built landscapes
