Maverick Impossible-James Rose and the Modern American Garden
Maverick Impossible-James Rose and the Modern American Garden. Dean Cardasis, Assistant Professor of Landscape Architecture, University of Massachusetts (Amherst) “To see the universe within a place is to see a garden; approach to American garden design. to see it so is to have a garden; Rose was a rugged individualist who explored the not to prevent its happening is to build a garden.” universal through the personal. Both his incisive James Rose, Modern American Gardens. writings and his exquisite gardens evidence the vitality of an approach to garden making (and life) as James Rose was one of the leaders of the modern an adventure within the great cosmic joke. He movement in American garden design. I write this disapproved of preconceiving design or employing advisedly because James “ the-maverick-impossible” any formulaic method, and favored direct Rose would be the first to disclaim it. “I’m no spontaneous improvisation with nature. Unlike fellow missionary,” he often exclaimed, “I do what pleases modern rebels and friends, Dan Kiley and Garrett me!”1 Nevertheless, Rose, through his experimental Eckbo, Rose devoted his life to exploring the private built works, his imaginative creative writing, and his garden as a place of self-discovery. Because of the generally subversive life-style provides perhaps the contemplative nature of his gardens, his work has clearest image of what may be termed a truly modern sometimes been mislabeled Japanesebut nothing made Rose madder than to suggest he did Japanese gardens. In fact, in response to a query from one prospective client as to whether he could do a Japanese garden for her, Rose replied, “Of course, whereabouts in Japan do you live?”2 This kind of response to what he would call his clients’ “mind fixes” was characteristic of James Rose. -

Established to develop New Deal resettlement programs in 1937, the United States Farm Security Administration (F.S.A.) was best known for accommodating migratory labour from the drought-stricken central plains. Large numbers arriving in California prompted F.S.A. engineers and architects to develop purpose-designed labour camps and townships, described as early exemplars of community planning. Yet in 1942, when 118,803 Japanese and Japanese Americans were evacuated from the newly created Military Exclusion Zones and incarcerated in relocation centres, F.S.A. skills were put to a different use. This paper demonstrates how wartime exigency, racist immigration policies and militarisation transformed a model for relief and rehabilitation into a carceral equivalent. It contextualises this transformation within a socio-spatial genealogy of temporary facilities that accommodated mass human displacements – including two examples from California: the Tulare County F.S.A. -

CAMBRIDGE CITY WIDE MASTER PLAN June 25, 2015 | File Number: 6848 HARMONIOUS CACOPHONY, THE IDEA OF CELEBRATING DIVERGENCE TO SEEK UNITY, INFUSES ITSELF THROUGH THE FOLLOWING PAGES AND INSPIRES OUR APPROACH TO THIS EFFORT FOR CAMBRIDGE. Amy L. Witts Purchasing Agent City of Cambridge Purchasing Department 795 Massachusetts Avenue, Third Floor Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139 Dear Ms. Witts, Thank you for the opportunity to submit this response to the Cambridge City Wide Planning Request for Qualifications. This letter describes the Sasaki team composition, the reasons we are interested in the Cambridge Citywide master plan and why we believe our team brings the ideal balance of creativity and practicality to the effort. As leaders in Sasaki’s Urban Studio, our practice is characterized by an interdisciplinary collaborative of innovative minds, all focused on improving the quality of life in American urban centers. The core tenets of our work are partnerships with our clients toward shared outcomes, meaningful and memorable community outreach, data-driven analysis, well-defined implementation strategies, and transformation through visionary planning and design. We believe that America’s urban centers are critical to long- term environmental, economic and social sustainability. Cambridge is undeniably an incredibly special community, and already a model of what many cities around the globe strive to achieve. Yet, cities cannot be content amid today’s successes; evolution is necessary for long term sustainability. Today, challenges for Cambridge exist, particularly around equity, resilience, transportation systems, and community health, among other issues. We believe this plan is an opportunity to integrate the many future-looking efforts already underway, build consensus, and create an inspired vision for the next decades. -
