Monday, 26 January, 2026
In this episode, Ethan interviews Mr. Bob White, landscape architect and alumn of the Harvard Graduate School of Design. They discuss his early life growing up in the Appalachian mountains, his time in college and graduate school, and his early career as a landscape architect and his eventual founding of his own business. From there, they discuss some of the work he has done, including how his Quaker beliefs have influenced some of his projects. Finally, he discusses his work on the Franconia Ridge Trail Loop restoration project and how its intentional and sustainable design protects it from constant traffic and weather. Thank you again Mr. White for being on the podcast.
