Phoebe McCormick Lickwar is a licensed landscape architect whose experience in contemporary practice has spanned both design and project management roles. Most recently she was an Associate at Peter Walker and Partners, where she worked for over five years on a range of projects, including the National September 11th Memorial, the Newport Beach City Hall and Park, and the Cleveland Clinic Heart Center.

Lickwar’s current research interests revolve around the resiliency of rural and urban sites and the role of the designer in promoting dynamic evolution through programmatic and ecological considerations. Her work as a designer and photographer continue to be informed by a longstanding fascination with the ways in which sites, as both cultural constructs and artifacts, are transformed over time.

Lickwar earned a Bachelor of Arts with honors in Art History and Visual and Environmental Studies from Harvard University, a Master’s of Education from the Harvard Graduate School of Education, and a Master’s of Landscape Architecture from the Rhode Island School of Design. Prior to her professional practice in landscape architecture, she taught photography and book arts at the Art Institute of Boston.
