Kiley Garden in Tampa, FLPhoto by Maria Bevilacqua and Frederick Pirone, 2013, courtesy The Cultural Landscape Foundation

In a career spanning much of the 20th century, late American landscape architect Dan Kiley designed over 1,000 projects all over the U.S., including the grounds of the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, the Miller Garden (a collaboration with Modernist great Eero Saarinen) in Columbus, Indiana, and the leafy atrium in the Ford Foundation headquarters in New York City (recently named a landmark interior.) Despite these famous credentials, Kiley, who passed away in 2004 at age 91, is far from widely-recognized himself. In an effort to rectify this, the Cultural Landscape Foundation decided to launch Landscape Architecture Legacy of Dan Kiley, a comprehensive traveling exhibit celebrating Kiley's far-reaching influence on our built environment. The show, which made its NYC debut at the Center for Architecture last night, features 45 newly-commissioned photographs of 27 representative Kiley work, plus updates on the current state of each project.

Inaugurated at the Boston Architectural College in fall 2013, the show is apparently booked till 2017, a fact that TCLF president Charles Birnbaum thinks signals greater public recognition for Kiley at last. And that is critical, because the upshot of honoring Kiley's work is also calling attention to their stewardship. The Kiley Garden () in Tampa, Florida, for example, is currently rated as "starting to falter" by the TCLF, despite recent efforts to restore it.

As the Tampa Bay Times details, Tampa-based landscape architect Ron Sil spearheaded a $4.7M restoration of the Kiley's rooftop checkerboard garden, which had fallen into despair and began leaking water to the garage underneath. Completed in fall 2010, the effort saw a complete reconstruction of the garden as Kiley had designed it, a process that involved following the precise mathematical formula Kiley used to place the concrete and grass patches. Still, the TCLF believes there's much to be done, including replanting the more than 100 crape myrtles trees that were removed for the restoration process.

Below, a photo of Kiley at the "Air Garden" he designed for the U.S. Air Force Academy, followed by a stroll through a dozen more of his projects featured in the show.

The public can get a look at changes proposed for the Royal Poinciana Plaza at 2 p.m. April 7.

On that date, Samantha David, head of plaza manager Up Markets, architect Daniel Kahan and landscape architect Keith Williams will informally present the plan in the lecture hall of the Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach, 311 Peruvian Ave.

In an application for Landmarks Preservation Commission review filed Friday, Kahan and Peter Papadopoulos, his Smith and Moore Architects colleague, described the proposal for the 12-acre plaza. It would restore all existing stucco trim, decorative transom grilles and metal work; replace all windows with aluminum impact-resistant ones; add new patios and gathering areas in the central courtyards; add new driveways; and enhance the landscaping by adding seasonal flower trees and citrus trees to the parking lots and courtyards, among other changes.

There is no charge to attend but reservations are required.

For reservations, call 832-0731.

The landmarks board will get a formal look at the plan at its April 16 meeting. That meeting starts at 9:30 a.m. and takes place in council chambers at Town Hall.

A local landscape architect has won gold at the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show.

Nathan Burkett, of Wonga Park, took out one of four top awards for landscape and floral design at the 20th annual show on Wednesday for his entry, "Equilibrium". He also walked away with the Mark Bence Construction Award.

Burkett's unique garden features dramatic Ficus Hillii hedging, a custom-designed fire pit and a cantilevered arbor that wraps around the perimeter.

Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show event director Greg Hooton said Burkett's winning design was a standout entry. "Nathan's use of plants, his finish from a construction point of view was exceptional, and it just all came together in a really great presentation of an outdoor living area," he said.

Equilibrium is centred around two "living pergolas" - five-year-old deciduous Plane Trees grown horizontally to mimic an organic roof. Burkett said the specially grown trees were symbolic of the overall design, which celebrates a "return to using greenery and plantings as the true hero of the space".

"We have used an abundance of greenery and plantings in the garden to create structure and symmetry, which in turn allows us to deliver an architectural aesthetic in a soft, welcoming setting," he said."This garden has a lot of subtlety in the finer detail, you almost have to first step back to take it all in and then step forward to appreciate the smaller touches."

The design awards marked the first day of the five-day international garden show that is expected to draw more than 110,000 horticultural enthusiasts to Royal Exhibition Building and Carlton Gardens.

Event manager Kathleen Rushford said the standard of entries this year was outstanding. "We are so impressed with the calibre of designs in both the Great Hall of Flowers and Show Garden Avenue this year," she said.
