Landscape
Designer Wins Study Travel Award
from Georgia Trust
for Historic Preservation
ATLANTA, April
22, 2006
Local
landscape designer and planner Andrew Kohr was
awarded the $3,500 J. Neel Reid Prize from The
Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation at its
recent Annual Meeting in Athens.
The stipend for
travel study is named
after
the legendary early-20th century
Georgia architect to
honor
his legacy of classically
inspired buildings and gardens.
Prize
winners must pursue study travel that involves
historic architecture built prior to Reids death
in 1926,
historic preservation of classic architecture, or
new construction that is classic and
context-related.
Kohr intends to
use the travel stipend to study English landscapes
dating from the 17th and early 18th
centuries that incorporate terraces in their
designs. He plans to document the landscapes and
explore the symbolic basis and relationship of the
terraces to the surrounding environment.
Kohr
graduated from Ball State University in Indiana in
2005 with a Masters of Landscape Architecture. He
is currently employed as a landscape designer and
planner with Robert and Company in Atlanta.
The
Trust has awarded academic stipends to worthy
students studying in fields related to historic
preservation at Georgia colleges and universities
since 1977. The scholarship program ensures that
knowledgeable leaders continue to enter the field.
