Medal of Excellence: Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collections

Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collections will receive the Landscape Architecture Medal of Excellence. The award recognizes significant contributions to landscape architecture policy, research, education, project planning and design, or a combination of these items. Dumbarton Oaks has played a significant role in the emergence of a rigorous discipline of landscape architectural history and in the shaping of research as an important contribution to contemporary practice. It has served as an exemplary steward of the historic landscape and gardens in Georgetown, Washington, D.C., originally owned by Mildred and Robert Woods Bliss and designed by ASLA founding member Beatrix Farrand between 1921 and the late 1940s.
