A big, old, thorny honeylocust tree on the campus of the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago has a place within the history of modernist architecture and landscape design. How so? Professor and landscape architect Ron Henderson talks about the tree's relationship to Mies van der Rohe and his colleague Alfred Caldwell, and how the honeylocust became the feathery urban forest powerhouse it is today.  Guests Ron Henderson Professor and Director of Landscape Architecture, Illinois Institute of Technology Founding Principal, LIRIO Landscape Architecture lirio.work https://arch.iit.edu/study/mla/ Richard Polansky Owner, Hafs Road Orchard Genoa City, Wisconsin hafsroadorchard.com Tree Story Short Tom Brennan Podcast Consultant Martha Douglas-Osmundson Music Diccon Lee, www.deeleetree.com Artwork Dahn Hiuni, www.dahnhiuni.com/home Follow on Facebook @thisoldtreepod Instagram @thisoldtreepod Mastodon @[email protected] Website thisoldtree.show We want to hear about the favorite tree in your life!
