| Landscape architect, born in Clydebank, W Scotland, UK. Landscape architecture drew him to the USA, first as a teenage apprentice (1936–9), then as a student at Harvard University after World War 2 (1946–50). Edinburgh's (Scotland) first landscape architect (1950–4), he returned permanently to create the University of Pennsylvania's department of landscape architecture (1954–82). In Design with Nature (1969) he wrote that ecological considerations should determine architectural decisions. His nationwide firm, Wallace, McHarg, Roberts & Todd (1960–81), carried out projects from Texas to Africa. |
