Reciprocal influences between designer and designed: The career of Richard B. Myrick

摘要

Landscape architect Richard B. Myrick created an important practice in Dallas, Texas that has spanned five decades. In addition to his work as a designer and planner, he has made significant strides to further landscape architectural education in the Southwest. This thesis employs a qualitative research methodology which has been used to reveal the emerging scientific, social, political, and other non-formalistic trends that begin to explain the professional character of landscape architecture over the past fifty years and in doing so, reveals the idiosyncratic role Myrick has played in the profession as distinct from his contemporaries.
