Professor Jewell is a committed educator who, during more than twenty years of teaching at several universities, has always kept a hand in practice. Her built landscapes have been frequently published and recognized with numerous design awards from the American Society of Landscape Architects. The focus of her scholarship has been in three areas:
1) The artistic role of landscape details in landscape design 2) The relationship of landscapes and structures and 3) The interplay of drawings and on-site design decisions in the design of landscapes.
Professor Jewell has published more than 30 articles on landscape construction and design and has produced several exhibitions, including a traveling exhibition on American Outdoor theaters. She presently is working on a book on American Outdoor Theaters and on a research project on the role of on-site design decisions by National Park Service designers in the construction of the 1930s Civilian Conservation Corps projects. Professor Jewell teaches design studios, courses on construction materials and techniques, and seminars on the analysis of designed landscapes.
The relationship of landscapes and structures have always fascinated me. In my teaching I focus on landscapes where structural interventions - buildings, roads, walls, pavements, sculpture, bridges and other human made objects -are introduced into landscapes to create vivid landscape experiences that did not exist or were easily overlooked before their introduction. To better understand the dimensional scale of proposed landscape changes, students in my classes often experiment with full scale mock-ups of proposed changes and are encouraged to learn from built landscapes by measuring and accurately depicting these landscapes and their details in dimensioned drawings. Through visits to construction sites and manufacturers of construction materials I hope to instill in students a passion for how the knowledge of materials and the craft of construction can inspire innovative design solutions.
