From the design of award-winning green roofs to his vision for urban corridors that influence many Midwest municipalities, Douglas Hoerr, principal of Douglas Hoerr Landscape Architecture, has been an integral part of the successful urban greening movement. As a noted practitioner of landscape architecture and as a long-term advisor to the city of Chicago, he will discuss Chicago projects including the transformation of Michigan Avenue, the City Garden at Garfield Park Conservatory, the urban university campuses of Loyola University Chicago and North Park University and green roofs at the Apple Store and 900 North Michigan Avenue, as well as streetscape design in Des Moines. Hoerr has received numerous awards for his firm’s work and has been featured in House & Garden, Veranda and Metropolitan Home. Supported by the IMA Horticultural Society.
