In 2013, the CELA Board approved and adopted a procedure to become fully responsible for publishing peer-reviewed conference papers annually and named the publication Landscape Research Record (LRR). LRR is a post-conference publication and published online only. LRR volume 03 is a collection of peer-reviewed papers presented at CELA 2012 hosted by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, with the theme “Finding Center: Landscape & Values.” The conference host called for a discipline-wide discussion as follows: From our vantage in the middle of the great North American continent, the theme Finding Center is easily understood as a multiple entendre. First and foremost, centering is a relational metaphor implying spatial, visual and phenomenal geographies. It can suggest moral, political, social, and economic centers, or “heartland” themes. It captures the disciplinary sense of returning to core, to basics and fundamentals. Centering is also the place where we hope to find ourselves—to be centered means to be graceful, simple, and grounded. With only a little effort, the conference theme can also imply a dialectic, a back-and-forth dynamic between a center and its opposite dimension—the frontier—and all that is marginal, peripheral, and innovative. “Center” may thus invoke the tensions between insiders and outsiders, between norms and deviations, and every sort of gradation to the edge. Depending on what it is possible to measure, we may find multiple centers, each having an impact on all

Fine, unused and unsharpened. $200 Influenced by their correspondence with Ray Johnson, Michael Morris and Vincent Trasov co- founded Image Bank in 1969 in Vancouver, Canada. Paralleling the rise of mail art, Image Bank was a collaborative, postal-based exchange system between artists; activities included requests lists that were published in FILE Magazine, along with publications and documents which directed the exchange of images, information, and ideas. The aim of Image Bank was an inherently anti- capitalistic collective for creative conscious. 2. AUGUSTO DE CAMPOS: CIDADE=CITY=CITÉ Edinburgh Scotland 1963/1964.

An early concrete poetry work by Augusto de Campos and published by Ian Hamilton Finlay’s Wild Hawthorn Press. Campos is credited as a co-founder (along with his brother Haroldo) of the concrete poetry movement in Brazil. His work with the poem Cidade=City=Cité spanned many years, and included various manifestations: in print (1960s), plurivocal readings and performances (1980s-1990s), and sculpture (1987, São Paulo Biennial). The poem contains only prefixes in the languages of Portuguese, English and French which are each added to the suxes of cidade, city and cité to form trios of words with the same meaning in each language.

    VIEW 2019 VIEW from the Director’s Office Dear Friends of LALH, This year’s VIEW reflects our recent sharpening focus on California, from the Bay Area to San Diego. We open with an article by JC Miller about Robert Royston’s final project, the Harris garden in Palm Springs, which he worked on personally and continues to develop with the owners. A forthcoming LALH book on Royston by Miller and Reuben M. Rainey, the fourth volume in our Masters of Modern Landscape Design series, will be released early next year at Modernism Week in Palm Springs. Both article and book feature new photographs by the stellar landscape photographer Millicent Harvey. Next up, Kenneth I. Helphand explores Lawrence Halprin’s extraordinary drawings and their role in his de- sign process. “I find that I think most effectively graphically,” Halprin explained, and Helphand’s look at Halprin’s prolific notebook sketches and drawings vividly illuminates the creative symbiosis that led to the built works. The California theme continues with an introduction to Paul Thiene, the German-born landscape architect who super- vised the landscape development of the 1915 Panama-California Exposition in San Diego and went on to establish a thriving practice in the Southland. Next, the renowned architect Marc Appleton writes about his own Santa Barbara garden, Villa Corbeau, inspired—as were so many of Thiene’s designs—by Italy. The influence of Italy was also major in the career of Lockwood de Forest Jr. Here, Ann de Forest remembers her grandparents and their Santa Barbara home as the family archives, recently donated by LALH, are moved to the Architecture & Design Collections at UC Santa Barbara.

Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well- informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Betty Connors dated January 28, 2001. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes.
