Yiwei Huang‘s co-authored (with Professor Patsy Owens and Professor Jayoung Koo) textbook, Outdoor Environments for People: Considering Human Factors in Landscape Design, has received the International Environmental Design and Research Association (EDRA) 2025’s Great Place Book Award! The jury commented, “This is a truly comprehensive volume on the consideration of human experience in the landscape and how it translates to design.”
EDRA’s Great Places Awards, established 27 years ago, seek to recognize work that combines expertise in design, research, and practice and contributes to the creation of dynamic, humane places that engage our attention and imagination. Award-winning projects reflect an interdisciplinary approach that is enduring, human-centered, sustainable, and concerned with the experiential relationship between people and their environment (built or natural) over time.
