Dan Kiley- New England born Landscape Architect that was at the forefront of the Modernism movement in America. Born in Massachusetts and worked both nationally and internationally on public parks and plazas. He is best known for his works completed in Washington D.C. ( outside space of the Smithsonian Botanical Gardens, Dulles Airport), the Dallas, Texas "Fountain Place" and for his private residential works done in the mid-west. He was my influential designer that I wrote about for site planning. He is a well respected designer of his time and continues to influence many contemporary landscape architects. He is an example of a designer that focused on bringing art and space together for the public to enjoy and was part of the public spaces movement that prevailed in the 20th century.
