Dan Kiley Daniel Urban Kiley (2 September 1912 – 21 February 2004) was a noted American landscape architect in the modernist style.[1] Life and career[edit] Kiley was born in Boston, Massachusetts.
In 1932, he began a four-year apprenticeship with landscape architect Warren Manning, during which he learned the fundamentals of office practice and developed an interest in the role of plants in design, sparking his later creative and innovative use of plants in the landscape. In 1936, Kiley entered the design program at Harvard University, while continuing work with Manning. Among his classmates and friends were Garrett Eckbo and James C. Rose, who also became influential landscape architects. From 1943 to 1945, Kiley served in the U.S.
Following the war, Kiley found himself one of the only modern landscape architects in the postwar building boom. The unique geometric layout of allees, bosques, water, paths, orchards, and lawns characterize Dan Kiley’s design. Awards[edit] Notes[edit] Cracknell.
