We are thrilled to welcome summer interns Jamie Hark, Magic Sun and Taylor Harrell to the Landworks team! These three emerging professionals have already impressed with their dedication and enthusiasm to the practice especially while working from afar. We look forward to following their journeys this summer as they dive into their respective projects.
Jamie Hark
Jamie is entering the second year of his MLA program at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. Born and raised on Massachusetts' North Shore, he is excited to join Landworks and assist on projects in his own backyard. With a background in environmental studies and GIS, Jamie hopes to build a career in landscape architecture reinforced by an interest in cartography, climate resiliency and community outreach. Outside of Zoom meetings you can find Jamie hiking, rock climbing, home brewing and creating hand-drawn maps.
Magic Sun
Magic Sun is from Beijing, China and she just earned her Bachelors in Landscape Architecture from Cornell University with distinction this Spring. She finds her interests in a variety of topics including cultural landscape and urban ecological design with particular interest in developing ideas through research, sketches and digital modeling. She is also interested in plants and would spend an entire day selecting plants for ecological specifications and aesthetic if she could. Magic feels very lucky to join Landworks Studio this summer and hopes to become more engaged in the design practice.
Taylor Harrell
Taylor Harrell first came to Landworks in December 2019 as a winter extern. She now joins remotely this summer from her home town in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.. She recently graduated from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville with a Bachelor’s in Architecture and plans to return next year to pursue her Master’s in Landscape Architecture. During her time in school, Taylor developed an interest in urban development within rural suburban towns. She is specifically interested in how the preservation of historic green-spaces and strategic landscape development play a positive role in the future of suburban growth within rural towns, such as the one she grew up in. She hopes to pursue this as a thesis topic next year in school. Outside the office, her interests include rock climbing, playing volleyball, gardening with her family, and vegan food blogging.
