7. Introduction
Psychology has proven time after time that surroundings play and
influential role in the development of a person. These same general
studies have also proven that surroundings also play an incredibly
important role in the establishment of communities.
I chose to study landscape architecture because I wanted: to help
people, to make people happy, to help build stronger communities,
and to make places better for everyone not just a select social class. I
wanted to use my surroundings to help create landscapes that others
can grow and prosper in.
These are my projects from my first three years at Clemson University.
Feel free to contact me at bmiskel@clemson.edu with any questions
or any requests for more work examples.
Best,
Benjamin Miskelly

13. Unity is o.en the keystone in any
region’s effort in overcoming a
Sichuan Earthquake Memorial
disaster. The main theme of this LARCH 251- (Dr. Nassar Prof. Hewitt)
,
project was unification; therefore a
bridge was the natural choice for the
main symbol in the theme.
The “Unity Bridge” is a direct symbol
of unity. The surface of the bride is
shaped like a calligraphy stroke,
widening with its length. However
the stroke is only narrower when it is
about to unite with the other side.
Unity
The “Unity Bridge” ties in the
“Memorial Overlook.” The “Memorial
Overlook” commemorates the shear
tragedy of the event. The floor has
fissures in it and quotes about the
devastation of the earthquake.
This will allow people to see
and remember what the
actual impact of the
earthquake was.

Well my name is Benjamin T Miskelly, everyone calls me Ben.
. Issaquena Falls, SC
I am a Senior (with two years remaining) at Clemson University. I am a
Bachelors in Landscape Architecture with minors in Urban Forestry and
Horticulture; I am also attempting to obtain a dual degree in Psychology.
I was born and raised in Sharon, South Carolina (it’s small, trust me
nobody knows where it is) which is 30 minutes south of Charlotte,
North Carolina. I graduated in 2006 from Y Comprehensive High
ork
School, where I was literally involved in everything (see résumé).I
attended Spartanburg Methodist College for a year, and then decided to
transfer to Clemson to study Landscape Architecture.
