The estate is on the high ridge that forms the northern edge of Georgetown. Dumbarton Oaks Park, which was separated from the formal gardens when it was given to the National Park Service, consists of 27.04 acres designed as the "naturalistic" component of a total composition which included the mansion and the formal gardens. The park is located north of and below the mansion and the terraced formal gardens and focuses on a stream valley sometimes called "The Branch" (i.e., of Rock Creek) nearly 100' below the mansion. North of the stream the park rises again in a northerly and westerly direction toward the U.S. Naval Observatory. The primary access to the park is from R Street between the Dumbarton Oaks estate and Montrose Park along a small lane presently called Lovers' Lane. Present Owner; Dumbarton Oaks Park is a Federal park, owned and maintained by the National Park Service of the Department of the Interior. Dates of Construction: Dumbarton Oaks estate was acquired by Robert Woods Bliss and Mildred Barnes Bliss in 1920. At their request, Beatrix Jones Farrand, a well- known American landscape architect, agreed to undertake the design and oversee the maintenance of the grounds.

  • News from Garden Landscape Studies
    Landscape Matters: News from GLS, Fall 2011 The Garden and Landscape Studies program at Dumbarton Oaks is pleased to share with you the following announcements regarding 2011-12 fellows, fellowship applications, new programs, forthcoming lectures and symposium, and new publications. GLS 2010-11 fellows in “Easy Rider,” the installation by contemporary artist Patrick Dougherty in the Ellipse. Image courtesy Nathaniel P. VanValkenburgh. Survey of Former Fellows First, we would like to thank all the former fellows, project grant recipients, and senior fellows who took the time to complete the survey we circulated in anticipation of the 40th anniversary of the Garden and Landscape Studies program. We are now considering how best to share this information among all of you. Meanwhile, you might be interested in a few general observations. Nearly all respondents expressed appreciation for the time, space, and resources that Dumbarton Oaks provides for scholars in garden history and landscape studies. Many of you remarked on the uniqueness of our program, offering residential facilities in the context of a fabulous garden and an extraordinary library. Quite a few of you noted that the program covers virtually limitless chronological, geographical, and disciplinary fields, and is addressed to academics and design professionals alike. For some of you, this breadth exposes a fault line in the program—as in the larger field—between history and practice. Some of you thought GLS ought to be more attentive to one or the other, while others insisted the distinctive mission of the program was to provide a bridge between the two. The origins of this fault line lie deep in the history of program.

  • The Olana Partnership Announces Summer Exhibition “Follies
    PO Box 199 Hudson, NY 12534-0199 518-828-1872 www.olana.org FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JUNE 20, 2016 The Olana Partnership Announces Summer Exhibition “Follies, Function & Form: Imagining Olana’s Summer House” An exhibition showcasing original concept sketches by 21 architects and landscape architects, inspired by Frederic Church’s OLANA June 20th, 2016, New York, NY: The Olana Partnership, in collaboration with the New York chapters of the American Institute of Architects (AIANY) and the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA-NY), is pleased to announce a design exhibition at Olana State Historic Site in Hudson, New York. Titled Follies, Function & Form: Imagining Olana’s Summer House, the exhibition unites noted architects and landscape architects and is curated by The Olana Partnership with guest co-curator Jane Smith, AIA, of Spacesmith. The exhibition addresses one of the great mysteries at Olana -- the Summer House – and it runs from August 14th through November 13th, 2016 in Olana’s Coachman’s House Gallery. Olana is the 250-acre creation of American landscape artist Frederic Church and exists in the birthplace of America’s first native art movement, the Hudson River School. Considered Frederic Church’s great masterpiece, Olana combines art, architecture, design and conservation ideals. In the 1886 “Plan of Olana,” a detailed blueprint of Church’s vision for his large-scale designed landscape, the plan’s details are largely accurate, yet it contains a structure labeled “Summer House”, which doesn’t exist today. Lacking documentary evidence to demonstrate the design and style of this structure, 21 architects and landscape architects were invited to participate in public interpretation at Olana.

This thesis hypothesizes that the computerization of the formerly analogue GIS in the 1960s, which emerged with CGIS and initiatives at the Harvard Laboratory for Computer Graphics and Spatial Analysis, can be read as the establishment of a pre-existing analytical conception of the environment over its synthetic and holistic counterpart.

  • From the Ground Up: Innovative Green Homes
    FROM THE GROUND UP: INNOVATIVE GREEN HOMES JuanHerrerosArquitectos Fiedler Marciano | Architecture Buro Happold Consulting Engineers Balmori Associates CONTENTS LETTER OF INTEREST 1 SKETCHPAD 3 PROJECT TEAM 17 PORTFOLIO 26 REGISTRATION 41 FTGU:IGH | 2 LETTER OF INTEREST Juan Herreros Arquitectos and Fiedler Marciano Architecture are pleased to submit for your consideration, our qualifi cations and preliminary concepts for the From the Ground Up: Innovative Green Homes competition. Our multi-disciplinary project team is comprised of award winning professionals that represent the highest level of design expertise in their respective fi elds. Buro Happold is providing both environmental consulting and structural engineering for the project, and landscape design services are being provided by Balmori Associates. As architects we have witnessed the failures of affordable urban housing on many levels, and recognize the multi-faceted challenges faced by communities building today. We feel exemplary design can serve as the catalyst to help developers and communities surmount political, social and economic challenges. Our interest in participating in this competition is to establish a methodology for addressing the challenges of affordable and sustainable home design that can be applied not only to the Near Westside in Syracuse, but universally to sites around the world. To achieve the goal of producing designs of architectural signifi cance and societal reso- nance, it is our belief that a comprehensive approach must be adopted that considers, in a holistic and regionally specifi c way, issues of community, environment, culture and eco- nomics. By promoting an adaptive regional approach as a model for progressive design, new paradigms for the single family home can begin to emerge.

  • The Use of Green in the Redevelopment of Industrial Areas in Bilbao and Antwerp
    The use of green in the redevelopment of industrial areas in Bilbao and Antwerp Tjeu de Gouw 5405769 AR2A011 Architectural History Thesis TU Delft 15-04-2021 1 Abstract The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao had an important influence on the economical growth of the city and the redevelopment of a industrial area in the city, referred to as the Bilbao effect. Later, other cities tried a similar approach in the redevelopment of city areas, of which the redevelopment of het Eilandje in Antwerp is an example. In literature the definitions provided for the term Bilbao effect often focus on the Guggenheim museum, its aesthetics and influence of the building. However, the museum was part of a larger masterplan to redevelop Bilbao after a industrial decline. This thesis will elaborate on the masterplans used to redevelop the industrial areas in both Bilbao and Antwerp. While these redevelopments handle former industrial areas with little green, the focus will be on the implementation of greenery in the masterplans and the contribution to the redevelopment. Both primary and secondary sources are used to research this topic. The primary research consists of an interview with Filip Smits, who has been involved in the redevelopment for het Eilandje in Antwerp. The secondary research consists of literature research on the history, masterplans, green structure plans and key elements of the redevelopment in Bilbao and Antwerp. 2 Content Introduction 4 1 The Bilbao Effect 6 1.1 The Guggenheim Museum 6 1.2 The Bilbao Effect and its influence 7 1.3 Behind the
