Robert S. "Doc" Reich, PhD,
FASLA
The Jot
D. Carpenter Teaching Medal is awarded to an individual
who has made a sustained and significant contribution to landscape
architecture education.
Robert S. “Doc” Reich, PhD, FASLA,
has inspired generations of practitioners through his teaching.
He led the landscape architecture program at Louisiana State University
from its inception in 1946 until retiring in 1983 and remains professor
emeritus. He holds LSU’s highest teaching honor, Alumni Professor,
and in 1992 received ASLA’s highest honor, the ASLA
Medal. Several years ago, the Louisiana chapter of ASLA
produced a film about Dr. Reich’s life. In it, when asked
what he thought was his biggest contribution to the profession,
he replied “developing a corps of disciples, who go out with
the same philosophy and do great things…a lot greater than
I’ve done.”
Read the nomination letter from Chad
Danos, ASLA, and support letters from Sadik
C. Artunc, FASLA, Charles
Fryling, Jr., ASLA, and L.
Azeo Torre, FASLA.
