Using selected projects framed by existing literature covering contemporary social, economic, political, and artistic influences, this study examines the career of one such transitional figure, Sidney Nichols Shurcliff (1906-1981). Project descriptions and analysis measure the scope of Shurcliff's work and the degree to which he contributed to the discipline and its transition to modernism, thereby augmenting the history of landscape architecture practice.Sidney ShurcliffPostwar Landscape ArchitectureMid-Century designLandscape Architecture PracticeModernismAmerican Art and ArchitectureAmerican StudiesArchitectural History and CriticismArchitectureArt PracticeCultural Resource Management and Policy AnalysisEnvironmental DesignHistoric Preservation and ConservationLandscape ArchitectureModern Art and ArchitectureTheory and Criticismthesis
