This monograph presents a comprehensive overview of a Landscape Architecture career spanning more than four decades: the life’s work of John L. Wong. The featured works were created in collaboration across diverse cultures and countries, employing a vast range of concepts and exploring the whole spectrum of possibilities, from crafting small gardens to planning large-scale neighborhoods, towns and new communities. John L. Wong’s prolific body of work is global with focal points in North America, the Middle East, and Asia, especially Japan, Korea and China. In addition to the wide array of project types and locations, a notable portfolio highlight is his long-term design collaboration with Stanford University, which continues to evolve and have a number of far-ranging impacts. More than 150 campus improvement projects at Stanford University (which include campus connections, open space systems, and public realm and site-specific uses) make up this large-scale design work which both reclaims Leland Stanford and Frederick Law Olmsted’s 100-year-old vision while also building on that
