  • Landscape and Art FS 2021 V10
    theory lab lecture series Landscape and Art FS 2021 V10 Landscape and art have been intertwined in our culture since time immemori- al, but from the early cave paintings of Lascaux depicting wilderness scenes, to contemporary art forms underscoring the demise of the planet, there is a world of difference. Western art built an idealized representation of landscape derived from literary constructs based on Alberti’s perspective. The one-point perspectives of Nicolas Poussin and the two-point perspectives of Claude Lorrain nurtured our imagination of nature in both the Baroque and Picturesque periods, with allego- rical references supporting these points of view. The intellectual effort behind these carefully crafted constructions mixed Christian symbolism with earlier Greek Nicolas Poussin (1594-1665), Paysage avec un mythology seamlessly. This particular period created a durable aesthetic frame- homme tué par un serpent, 1648, National Gallery London. work for landscapes that prevailed through the 19th-century Romantic period to this day. Whether Post-Romantic landscape aesthetics still matter in our strongly de-idealized, systemic and pragmatic world remains doubtful. But the absence of a valid alternative vision poses a serious problem for landscape at present. This absence has yielded a dislocated aesthetic for landscapes, in which the founding concepts of landscape and art are continually confused. This should not, however, be understood as a plea for a return to some foregone Classical period, but rather as a general comment on the facile image production of our age, as well as on how unreflected and unimaginative we have become with the landscapes that surround us.

Regenerative and biocentric designs fostering urban ecological habitats including food webs that provide ecosystem services for people and wildlife increasingly are being sought. However, the intentional design of urban landscapes for food webs remains in an early stage with few precedents and many challenges. In this paper, we explore the potential to design (for) urban food webs through collaborations between designers and ecologists. We start by examining the ecology and management of Jamaica Bay in New York City as a case study of an anthropogenic landscape where ecosystems are degraded and the integrity of extant food webs are intertwined with human agency. A subsequent design competition focusing on ecological design and management of this large-scale landscape for animal habitat and ecosystem Edited by: services for people illustrates how designers approach this anthropogenic landscape. Mary L.

    Reed Hilderbrand LLC Landscape Architecture Executive Committee Board of Trustees American Society of Landscape Architects 636 Eye Street NW Washington, DC 20001-3736 Re: Letter of Nomination for the ASLA Design Medal: Peter Walker REED| HILDERBRAND Dear Executive Committee Members: I am honored to present the nomination for Peter Walker, Principal of Peter Walker and Partners Landscape Architecture, for the ASLA Design Medal. It is my personal view that there is no living landscape architect with a more widely recognized body of work. As a writer and critic, I have worked closely with Pete and have benefitted from his encouragement, guidance, and generosity. As a teacher, I have taught by his example, and I continue to utilize ample references from his built works and body of publications. Perhaps for these reasons I cannot claim complete objectivity in this nomination—but who among us can? We have all benefitted from his example and his effort to make landscape architecture known to the world. My career would have been markedly different without exposure to Pete’s shared wisdom and his works. I think that’s true for many of us, as some notable colleagues will attest. I would like to cite a few key remarks from letters written in support of this nomination. Several of the writers indicated surprise that this honor had not already been bestowed upon Pete. Although he was awarded our society’s highest honor, the ASLA Medal (2004), and has also received IFLA’s Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe Gold Medal (2005) for lifetime achievement, the Honor Award of the American Institute of Architects (1992), Harvard’s Centennial Medal (2004), and the University of Virginia’s Thomas Jefferson Medal (2004), he has not been recognized with the ASLA Design Medal.

It includes exhibition catalogues, primary documents, installation views, and an index of participating artists. MoMA © 2017 The Museum of Modern Art Constructing the Contemporary Landsc ^jrw| Exchange Square, Manchester, England 1998-2000 We need to grasp the truth that our landscape is a built artifact and, as such, must be designed, and therefore is an opportunity and an appropriate place for the expression of personal aesthetics and ideas. The visual quality of our environment defines us as individuals and citizens of a certain place. It becomes internalized and part of our self-image. It defines who we are individually and collectively and ultimately becomes what we are remembered by as a culture. My definition of landscape is not limited to our natural environment, or to just parks, waterfronts, and plazas, but more importantly focuses on the landscapes we are building for ourselves in which we work, live, shop, commute, and generally exist. In spite of my reputation as a nature-hater, I am simply misunderstood. I am protesting this disjuncture between word and deed as it concerns nature and interferes with our ability to create positive environments for both man and beast. — Martha Schwartz Martha Schwartz, Martha Schwartz, Inc., Cambridge, Massachusetts Competition drawing with artificial palm trees.
