  • Landscape Matters: News from Gls at Dumbarton Oaks
    LANDSCAPE MATTERS: NEWS FROM GLS AT DUMBARTON OAKS The program in Garden and Landscape Studies at Dumbarton Oaks was established in 1972 to support advanced scholarship in garden history and landscape architecture, encompassing the study of culturally and artistically significant landscapes around the world from ancient times to the present. The program seeks to deepen the un- derstanding of landscape and gardens as a field of knowledge and research and as a practice carried out by land- scape architects, landscape artists, and gardeners. The activities of the program include residential fellowships, short-term pre-doctoral residencies, one-month research stipends, project grants for field research, public lectures and symposia, and temporary installations of contemporary art as well as the new Mellon Initiative in Urban Landscape Studies. An active publications program produces symposium proceedings, translations of significant texts in a series on the history of gardens and landscape architecture entitled ex horto, and occasional monographs, reprints, and studies in contemporary landscape design. Scholars have access to unparalleled resources, including a vibrant intellectual community, an extensive research library and Rare Book Collection, and the renowned gar- dens of Dumbarton Oaks. We are pleased to share with you the following news about the past academic year, and announcements regarding 2015–16 fellows, fellowship applications, new programs, forthcoming colloquium and symposium, and new pub- lications.
