Not only was Diane Haigh influential in the architectural world, but her drive for holistic, sustainable designs led her to value the role of landscape architecture. This was recognised by her honorary fellowship from the Landscape Institute in 2012, after working with me as a “critical friend” on one of our publications.
As a member of CABE’s national design panel, I felt that Di as director did more than anyone to champion the role of landscape architects in the design review process. She ensured that her staff considered the balance of professional representation on design review panels.
