The Damascus Placemaking Festival wasn’t just a moment—it sparked a movement. The project’s core goals were to foster community engagement, enhance connectivity, and support local businesses. Following the festival, the design team, with strong community support, developed a forward-thinking Implementation Strategy.

Recommendations include forming a local Civic Association, hiring a part-time community liaison, and purchasing a key central property to develop a 22,000-square-foot community gathering space and community-focused building. The strategy also outlines next steps for political advocacy, grant funding, and county supported capital improvements.

With limited space remaining for the garden, the design focused on maximizing function, managing stormwater, and creating a sense of privacy and calm. The garden takes cues from the home’s architecture—particularly a striking steel and glass stairwell that acts as a central interior transition. This concept extends outward, organizing the landscape into a series of distinct yet connected spaces.

The Landscape Architect was contracted to design and construct a garden that integrates two adjacent properties to create a feeling of cohesion across the grounds. The culmination of the design phase led to the creation of The Mosaic; a series of travertine and granite terraces that flutter through the two sites, carving out garden spaces and locations to enjoy within them.

Winchester is a landscape of transformation - an evolving masterpiece that began in 2004 with a simple request: resolve a problematic fence obstructing views of the Severn River. That initial success sparked a two-decade collaboration, resulting in an ecologically driven reimagining of the property.

A pivotal moment came when the owner acquired an adjacent three-acre parcel to prevent future development. The overgrown woodland and open lawn presented a new opportunity to expand the property’s ecological richness.

This school was Loudoun County’s first and only high school for Black students from its opening in 1941 until the end of segregation in 1968. Working closely with a highly involved community coalition, LSG created commemorative spaces at the building’s entrance and along a heritage walk toward a new amphitheater. Interpretive elements were placed throughout, unifying the site while honoring its legacy.

The team focused on three key areas of environmental impact of the yacht centre’s two newly acquired marinas: reducing harmful inputs, implementing holistic stormwater management, and restoring urban habitat through conservation planting. Contaminated waste and toxic chemicals were remediated, more than 20,000 square feet of dilapidated overhangs were removed, and diseased and decaying vegetation was cleared.

What was once two neglected and polluted marinas is now a revitalized, six-acre waterfront community. The site now features single-family homes, a multi-family residence, an office building, and ample decking that welcomes owners, slipholders, and guests alike. The transformation of South Annapolis Yacht Centre stands as a shining example of sustainable redevelopment—and one of Annapolis’s crown jewels.

North Harford Park provides important recreational resources in an area of the city where access to public open space is limited. The park suffers from overuse, vandalism, storm damage and deferred maintenance, all of which have combined to detract from the experience of using the park and from the health of the landscape.

The resulting master plan features a diverse mix of activities and landscape character zones–ranging from bustling, extraverted activity-zones to walking trails for fitness and lushly-planted niches for individual respite and retreat.

The design approach was to respect the site's 19th-century cultural heritage while providing a functional garden for 21st-century urban family living. A custom North Star gate in the front garden references the quilting patterns used as code during the Underground Railroad. The North Star pattern was a crucial motif, symbolizing guidance toward freedom, and the star’s prominence in the project represents the site’s significant cultural history.

Project Team: Client: City of College Park, University of Maryland College Park, Redgate; Architect: Design Collective; Civil Engineer: A.

The new College Park City Hall and Civic Plaza mark a bold and exciting chapter in the city’s evolution transforming the downtown core into a vibrant, people-first destination. This transformative project brings together civic pride, sustainability, and community connection in a way that truly redefines what a public space can be.
At the heart of the project is the Civic Plaza—a dynamic, flexible space that invites people in. Whether it’s a large public event or a quiet afternoon coffee, the plaza creates opportunities for connection and belonging. Active retail, outdoor dining, and strong pedestrian links energize the streetscape and create a sense of place that is distinctly College Park. The landscape architecture team at Design Collective played a central role in shaping this vision. The thoughtful design integrates sustainability, beauty, and functionality—from native plantings and bioretention areas to welcoming seating and shaded gathering spaces. These green infrastructure elements aren’t just environmentally smart they’re educational, engaging, and essential to the identity of the space.
Anchored by a transparent and accessible new City Hall, the project blends governance, community, and commerce into a cohesive civic center. As the first major step in a broader urban vision, it sets a powerful precedent for future development—and leaves a lasting legacy of what’s possible when design puts people and place first.

Rain Symphony

Project Team: Contractor: Oldetown Landscape Architects; Civil Engineer: GJB Engineering, Inc. - Greg Budnick, P.E.; Photographer: Kate Wichlinski/ Architectural Photography; Garden Maintenance: Hedge Garden Care.
Rain Symphony is a renovation of a 0.25-acre residential garden in McLean, Virginia. Fairfax County, part of the upland Piedmont province, lies on the Potomac River’s west bank with several small tributaries flowing into it - the second-largest Chesapeake Bay tributary. All stormwater in Fairfax County goes directly to streams, not a wastewater treatment facility.
The project’s primary goal was to address stormwater management and prevent future flooding caused by unresolved site grading and surface runoff from the adjacent street, located at a higher elevation than the house. The client also wanted to reclaim garden space and integrate nature as a source of beauty that evokes emotions, provides mental regeneration, and offers a moment of solace. They also wished to incorporate corten steel and juxtapose the home’s orthogonal lines with nature’s contours, embracing wabi-sabi—the Japanese mindset of finding beauty in imperfection. The landscape architect proposed an artful stormwater narrative that encourages exploration of water flow, celebrates seasonal changes, and supports local wildlife. In collaboration with a civil engineer, the landscape architect developed strategies integrating blue- green infrastructure—nature-based solutions and underground stormwater infrastructure—to guide rainwater through the garden. Rain transforms the space into a playful symphony, echoing the rhythm of raindrops, mist, drizzle, trickle, splash, and drum.

Annapolis Green
Lynn Forsman & Elvia Thompson
This organization brought together environmental movers and shakers individuals and families, local businesses, government agencies, and nonprofits - to create a healthy and thriving community. Rather than focus on a single issue, Annapolis Green tackled a variety of challenges facing its communities, motivating people to stand up for nature with programs that connect, inspire, and spark meaningful change. In addition to launching effective community initiatives, Annapolis Green consolidated the efforts and resources of numerous local environmental organizations under one website, providing easy access to cutting edge knowledge, best practices, hands-on opportunities, and events.
Annapolis Green was founded in 2006 by Lynn Forsman and Elvia Thompson, two friends seeking to understand the broader landscape of global green initiatives. The organization ceased operations in December 2024 after over 18 years of service as the hub of the city’s environmental movement, uniting and inspiring the Greater Annapolis community.

Lifetime Achievement Award





Jack Sullivan, FASLA
Professor, University of Maryland
Maryland ASLA's Lifetime Achievement Award was created to recognize outstanding contributions to the field of landscape architecture by our long-standing and dedicated members. The award can be for service, knowledge, research or any other related subject that the MDASLA executive committee chooses to honor.
Jack was presented this award by his former student and current MDASLA President, Michael Pullano, ASLA. Here is what Michael had to share about Jack:
Jack’s career began with an early love of gardens — and maybe a slightly underpaid job mowing lawns at age 12. From there, he studied Fine Arts, earned his MLA from UVA, worked with Carol R. Johnson in Boston, and—fortunately for us—eventually made his way to Maryland.
Jack has always brought his full creative energy to every sketch, studio, and student interaction. If you’ve ever seen his sketchbooks, you know he doesn’t just draw landscapes — he feels them. If you ask him, Jack will say his design philosophy is to “Surprise people with smart logic and fresh ideas.” Jack always challenges you to do better because he knows you can.
Jack’s mentorship didn’t end when I earned my diploma. He’s shown up at my office in Baltimore on multiple occasions with a full class in tow, ready for us to critique their “Highway to Nowhere” design concepts. He’s reached out on behalf of students searching for jobs — just like he once did for me.
One colleague described Jack as “a selfless giver of his time… a lifelong class in creativity, integrity, and friendship.”
One vivid memory I have is from our Site Materials and Construction class. One day, Jack led us out to a small plaza just outside of the Plant Sciences Building and handed us a few shovels. The assignment was to uncover a failed tree pit that had been paved over and create a larger planting area for a new tree to grow and thrive. So we started digging. We were picking up pavers and exploring the paving section and soil underneath. We learned a lot that day. We also learned that the university did not appreciate our unsanctioned groundbreaking exercise.
Jack holds Fellowships from the American Academy in Rome, from National ASLA, and from the Royal Society of Arts. But when I told him he’d be receiving the Maryland ASLA Lifetime Achievement Award, he said this meant more to him than any of those other fellowships — because this award comes from people who know him personally. And I think we’d all agree that it’s long overdue.
Jack you’ve inspired so many of us to explore more, reach further, and aim higher — but to also take pride in what’s simply “good.”
