Hope H. Hasbrouck provides instruction in design and digital representation in landscape architecture at the core and advanced levels. Hasbrouck’s research includes speculations on spatial identity in landscape architecture, the topological syntax of spatial organizations, GIS-driven site analysis, and advanced visualization methods.
Hasbrouck was recognized by Design Intelligence as one of the “ 25 Most Admired Educators” in 2012 and was named a fellow of the American Academy in Rome after completing the Garden Club of America Rome Prize Fellowship in Landscape Architecture for “Interpreting Cultural Territories through Prospect and Passage.” Early in her career, she co-authored Landscape Modeling: Digital Techniques for Landscape Visualization with her colleague Stephen Ervin, which was awarded an ASLA Merit Award for Design Communication.
Hasbrouck has made significant contributions to the Graduate Program in Landscape Architecture at the University of Texas at Austin through service, research, and teaching. She has dedicated the majority of her career to the program’s development and pedagogical development. Hasbrouck served as Program Chair and was named a fellow of the David Bruton, Jr. Centennial Professorship in Urban Design from 2018 – 2025. She had formally served the program as Graduate Studies Chair and Graduate Adviser. Her peers have recognized her twice for excellence in design instruction and service to the school.
Hasbrouck had the great fortune to practice with Hargreaves Associates, and James Stewart Polshek and Partners before beginning her teaching career at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design.
