Anne Weber is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Landscape Architecture at Cornell University.  Building from her background in documentary practices, her research focuses on rural landscapes, particularly landscapes of extraction, production and conservation, as urgent sites of design in the context of climate change. Prior to Cornell, she worked as a project manager and designer at SCAPE Landscape Architecture, and led classes and workshops at RISD, Harvard’s Graduate School of Design, and the University of Kentucky.  At SCAPE, she worked on a range of projects, including feasibility studies for a linear park system in Lexington, KY,  urban adaptation strategies for a Hudson River community dealing with SLR, and innovative community outreach through the Town Branch Water Walk, a podcast tour of a stream buried beneath a city. 

Her professional work has received both National and NY SARA Awards, a Best of Design Honorable Mention Award from Architect’s Newspaper, and an APA KY Planning Award for Civic Engagement. Anne received her MLA with distinction from Harvard’s Graduate School of Design, and her undergraduate degree from Yale University.  She has received a number of honors, including the 2025 Council of Educators in Landscape Architecture Excellence in Studio Teaching Award, grants from the USDA and the Water Resource Institute, and the Lewis Hine Documentary Fellowship from Duke University’s Center for Documentary Studies. Her teaching and research have been published in the Journal of Architectural Education, Seeding Urban Transformation: Tactical Urbanism for Systemic Reparation, Landscape Research Record, and Oz Journal; and exhibited at the Duke’s Sanford Institute for Public Policy, SPACE Gallery, and the Soil Factory. Her current research spans from rural ditch networks in the Black Dirt Region to drained peatlands in Scotland’s Flow Lands, and applies novel digital tools and documentary methods to unpack the histories, policies, management protocols, and communities that shape them.
