The authors came to this project uniquely prepared for the task at hand. One possessed the well-founded savvy of an experienced landscape architect and city planner who collaborated with architects over a long period of time; the other has extensive writing expertise. They also share more than a half-century avocational interest in the subject matter and have spent the better part of the past decade conducting travel-field investigations and supportive research, evaluating and interpreting findings, and developing the Wrightscapes manuscript.
