William B. Callaway, FASLA (May 26, 1943- November 25, 2014) was an American landscape architect with SWA Group, recognized for his ability to design landscapes that are timeless.〔 Furio, Joanne ("A lifetime of good groundwork" ), ''The San Francisco Chronicle'', September 17, 2008. Retrieved on May 31, 2013 〕 Peter Walker, designer of the World Trade Center Memorial and a long-time colleague, described Callaway as being “among the icons of post-World War II practice,” developing his modern style by consistently staying true to the natural character of the landscape.〔 == Planning & Design Leadership == Callaway established a broad landscape and urban design stamp on cities, company campuses, and civic and cultural facilities. According to the ''San Francisco Chronicle'', notable commercial landscape design projects include Beijing Finance Street in Beijing and Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal in Manila. “Closer to home, Callaway has designed the corporate campus for Electronics Arts in Redwood City, the master plan for Mare Island (Solano County) and Shoreline Regional park in Mountain View.”〔 Other noted U.S. work includes Concord Pavilion and Refugio Valley Park in California, PPG Place in Pittsburgh, and Arizona Center in Phoenix. Beijing Finance Street was honored by the Urban Land Institute with its Global Award of Excellence, one of five awarded that year, and it received the China Award from ''Businessweek'' magazine.〔Holmes, Damian ("SWA Wins Global Excellence Award" ), ''World Landscape Architect'', December 11, 2008.

Retrieved May 31, 2013〕 In 1994, he was honored as a Fellow in the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA). In bestowing the 2007 ASLA Medal, the organization's highest honor for an individual, the jury said his “personal leadership, charisma, and professional passion inspire designers to retain an idealistic view of the profession and the world.”〔 〕 Architects and developers have sought out his designs to enhance structures and the built-environment. Architect Robert Arrigoni characterizes Callaway's landscapes as those that “never seem to age and the more you look at them, the better they look and the better they make our buildings.”〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「William B.
