Daniel Urban Kiley (2 September 1912 – 21 February 2004) was an American landscape architect in the modernist style. He designed more than 1,000 projects including the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial in St. Louis and the Art Institute of Chicago's South Garden.
Kiley was born in Boston, Massachusetts. In 1932, he began a four-year apprenticeship with landscape architect Warren Manning, during which he learned the fundamentals of office practice and developed an interest in the role of plants in design, sparking his later creative and innovative use of plants in the landscape. In 1936, Kiley entered the design program at Harvard University, while continuing work with Manning. Among his classmates and friends were Garrett Eckbo and James C. Rose, who also became influential landscape architects. After two years at Harvard, Kiley left without graduating. He worked briefly for the National Park Service in Concord, New Hampshire, and later the United States Housing Authority, where he met architect Louis Kahn. On Kahn’s advice, Kiley left the Housing Authority in 1940 to become a licensed practitioner of architecture.
Someone´s watching me from somewhere
when everything is breaking down
Bare me to your temple mother
let me die another day
I will deny eternity as I´m watching me
On my way down
On my way down
On my way down
On my way down
I´m going down
One step further led me nowhere
I was stuck inside this haunted house
Why was I shown all this glory
Heaven help me come around
I will deny eternity as I´m watching me
On my way down
On my way down
On my way down
On my way down
I´m going down
I will deny eternity, I will deny eternity
as I´m watching me
On my way down
On my way down
On my way down
On my way down
