Experiences

Michael Fitzpatrick

Without traveling to the UK and Europe, I am not sure my research would be at the same point now. Visiting the different countries and seeing how landscape design and natural systems were valued, helped me better understand my role as a landscape architect.

Number of
countries visited
9
  • England
  • Wales
  • Republic of Ireland
  • Northern Ireland
  • Denmark
  • Sweden
  • Germany
  • Netherlands
  • France

The intentions of the travel was to better understand the overall direction of my graduate research. Many of the sites and cities visited looked to understand the spatial connection between people and forests. Through these connections I wanted to learn how it could then apply to the reforestation of Ireland.
