Faculty In-Residence

The purpose of this program is to share knowledge and experience across academic and professional boundaries. We hope to provide the opportunity for academic professional to experience a professional office while on sabbatical from their learning institution and for staff to benefit from the “learning style” they bring to the office.

2007 Faculty in Residence participant Bruce Ferguson is the Franklin Professor of Landscape Architecture in the University of Georgia’s School of Environmental Design. He is a landscape architect who has specialized in urban environmental design for 25 years. Ferguson’s 1994 book Stormwater Infiltration is considered a landmark in the integration of urban development with natural watershed processes. His 1998 book Introduction to Stormwater is the most frequently referenced book in the field. In 2005 Ferguson completed the first comprehensive guide to porous pavements, which have been called “the holy grail of environmental site design” and “potentially the biggest development in urban watersheds since the invention of the automobile.” Ferguson’s eight years of research for the book included a firsthand survey of 280 installations of all kinds of porous pavements, in all parts of North America. Since publication of the book, he has been asked to speak and consult as often as twice a month in every region of North America, educating multidisciplinary practitioners and guiding the design and approval of new porous pavement installations.

Ferguson is a Fellow of the American Society of Landscape Architects and a past president of the Council of Educators in Landscape Architecture. He is a recipient of the Council's Outstanding Educator Award, the highest award for landscape architectural education in North America.
