Dennis Carmichael, FASLA Principal Edaw, Inc. Alexandrea, Virginia State University of New York at Syracuse, BLA Honor Award, Centennial Olympic Park, ASLA Georgia Chapter Category: Works of Landscape Architecture "I have two memories that most define my life as a landscape architect-one profound; one prosaid: I traveled to the "reopening" of my project, Centennial Olympic Park, after the tragic explosion and along with my son and 100,000 others, we allayed our fears and reclaimed the park - in effect declaring that we would not be deteered by a terrorist. As Andrew Young spoke so eloquently that day about the power of the public realm, tears came to the eyes of more than my own. r "On a more mundane note, by kindergartner Katie was asked on day what her father did for a living. Her response? 'Oh, my daddy doesn't wok, he just colors. After twenty-five years 'working' as a Landscape Architect, it still has the joy of 'just coloring' for me."
