PRINCIPLE LA AND DESIGNER of these forest preserves:NOTE: I have described below the actual forest preserves I designed during my 14 year tenure because other LCFPD landscape architects have fraudulently assigned and claimed credit for my design of INDEPENDENCE GROVE PRESERVE. I'm grateful for the assistance of landscape architects in executing the working drawings and onsite execution of my ideas and plans for this significant project however their assisting role doesn't mean that these individuals 'designed' the preserve nor should they in good conscience accept credit for it. IMHO, intentionally misleading and assigning credit or accepting credit for another landscape architect's design work is professionally and morally bankrupt and against the ASLA ethical code of professional conduct. In this case a letter was sent from the ASLA Professional Ethics Committee to Planning and Development Director at the LCFPD stating as much.Quote from Jens Jensen taken from a letter he wrote to FLW:They that are less successful will steal from those that are more . . . I have resigned myself tothis, for I too have taken soundings, and I too know what I have accomplished and that knowing givesme joy, peace and happiness . . . I can forget those that steal my work and call it their own."
