Subhashini Gamagedara, an alumna of the Master of Landscape Architecture program, was recently featured in The Field, the professional practice networks’ blog of the American Society of Landscape Architects. This online publication features information, work, research and shared thoughts about current happenings in the Landscape Architecture realm.
Gamagedara is a park planner for Oklahoma City as well as member of ASLA and leader of the Women in Landscape Architecture Professional Practice Network. She is also LEED AP certified, which distinguishes professionals with advanced knowledge in green building.
She recently participated as a guest critic at Parkitecture, a spring camp hosted by Science Museum Oklahoma. The camp provided design experiences centered around parks for children aged 8-12. The kids engaged in a variety of hands-on activities, including the creation and presentation of 3D park models.
According to Gamagedara, “I was blown away by the creativity, empathy and the level of critical thinking that these ‘young designers’ demonstrated… I walked away with renewed enthusiasm for my work in bringing play, discovery and growth to communities Oklahoma City-wide.”
