Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ Medal: Linda Jewell, FË¿¹ÏÊÓƵ

Linda Jewell¡¯s career spans decades of continuously excellent, ground-breaking work in teaching, practice and writing. In a profession that is still woefully short of woman-owned firms, she has founded and run three practices: first her own self-named firm, then Reynolds & Jewell in North Carolina, and since 1993, Freeman & Jewell in California. Her work with these firms has won numerous design awards, including an Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ Honor Award for Hartford Riverfront Platform and Theater. She was the first woman to chair the Department of Landscape Architecture at Harvard, a position she held from 1987 to 1991. Following Harvard, she was a tenured professor at the University of California, Berkeley, where she served terms as chair of both the landscape architecture department and the urban design program and was a guiding force within the College of Environmental Design. She is now a professor emerita in Berkeley of landscape architecture and urban design.
