His works were everywhere and his imagination was well beyond what he was taught. He saw what many of us look for, he designed what many of us know is out there, he envisioned Landscape Architecture as is is, the emcompassment of all things. It is Landscape Architecture that makes life interesting, that make the buildings better and with foundation, that makes that walk special, that makes life an array of interesting design. He knew that, he researched the past and he created a new future. We need more Lawrence Halprins. He will be missed.

May our honored mentor rest in peace, and thank you Mr. Halprin, for raising the public conciousness and awareness of what we as landscape architects profess to do.
