    THE AMERICAN LAWN: CULTURE, NATURE, DESIGN AND SUSTAINABILITY _______________________________________________________________________________ A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University _______________________________________________________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Landscape Architecture _______________________________________________________________________________ by Maria Decker Ghys May 2013 _______________________________________________________________________________ Accepted by: Dr. Matthew Powers, Committee Chair Dr. Ellen A. Vincent, Committee Co-Chair Professor Dan Ford Professor David Pearson ABSTRACT This was an exploratory study examining the processes and underlying concepts of design nature, and culture necessary to discussing sustainable design solutions for the American lawn. A review of the literature identifies historical perceptions of the lawn and contemporary research that links lawns to sustainability. Research data was collected by conducting personal interviews with green industry professionals and administering a survey instrument to administrators and residents of planned urban development communi- ties. Recommended guidelines for the sustainable American lawn are identified and include native plant usage to increase habitat and biodiversity, permeable paving and ground cover as an alternative to lawn and hierarchical maintenance zones depending on levels of importance or use. These design recommendations form a foundation

  • Historical Information Sheet for a UGS Trial Tour Ü You Are Not Required to Know Or Include Every Fact on This Sheet
    Historical Information Sheet for a UGS Trial Tour ü You are not required to know or include every fact on this sheet. Please spend more time practicing your trial tour than memorizing every fact. It’s impossible to include all this in a 15 min. tour anyway. ü You are encouraged to observe an actual historical tour. Then pick the facts and stories from both the tour and this factsheet that interest you to craft a unique, cohesive tour that shows off your personality. ü Feel free to include material from your own independent research, but that is certainly not obligatory. I. The Founding of the University Jefferson, as part of his lifelong pursuit for the advancement of public education, sought to found a new university based on “the illimitable freedom of the human mind,” where any subject imaginable could be studied. 1816 Central College, Jefferson’s original plan for an institution of higher education in Charlottesville (so named due to its proposed location at the then geographic center of the state of Virginia), is chartered. 1817 Construction of Central College began when, in the presence of Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and James Monroe, the cornerstone of Pavilion VII was laid. 1818 The Virginia General Assembly passed a bill to charter a state university. 1819 The University of Virginia is founded when Central College is selected as the site for the state university. 1825 On March 7, the first students arrive for classes, and Jefferson lives to see “the hobby of [his] old age” open its doors. 1826 Jefferson, and coincidentally John Adams, both die on July 4, the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

  • Where the Lawn Mower Stops: the Social Construction of Alternative Front Yard Ideologies
    Kaufman, A. J. and Lohr. V. I. 2002. Where the lawn mower stops: The social construction of alternative front yard ideologies. In: C. A. Shoemaker (Editor), Interaction by design: bringing people and plants together for health and well being (An international symposium). Iowa State Press. Pp. 291-300. Where the lawn mower stops: The social construction of alternative front yard ideologies Andrew J. Kaufman Department of Tropical Plant and Soil Sciences University of Hawaii at Manoa, Honolulu, HI, USA 96822 Virginia I. Lohr Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture Washington State University, Pullman, WA, USA 99164-6414 Introduction Visit just about any American neighborhood from coast to coast, and more often than not, you will see a unifying theme of front yards with green, well-maintained lawns. The lawn has truly become an American icon. In addition to being in almost every residential setting, it appears in business parks, shopping centers, public parks, and athletic facilities. Lawns cover approximately thirty million acres in the United States (Jenkins 1994). In Iowa, the lawns of an estimated 870,878 single-family homes cover 592,000 acres, which equates to roughly 7,500 square feet of lawn per urban residence (Iowa Turfgrass Industry 2001). This patch of green carpet seems to be woven into, not only the American psyche, but the American social fabric as a whole. When asked what percentage of homes in central Iowa have a front lawn, an industry representative replied, “There is no percentage, just about everyone does” (Iowa Turfgrass Industry 2001). Having a front yard with a well-maintained lawn in the United States is the norm, yet not everyone goes along with it.

  • Heath-Gary I-Xiv & 1-.Indd
    1 “Two Tracts of Land at the Poplar Forest” A Historical and Archaeological Overview of Thomas Jefferson’s Plantation Retreat Barbara J. Heath and Jack Gary Introducing Poplar Forest or any site that has been inhabited for generations is a challenging task. How do we define a place whose physical size, population, landscape, and use have changed dramatically over time? The authors in this book offer varied responses, focusing on written and archaeological evidence of former residents’ relationships to the environment, using analysis of buildings and landscape modifications, and using analysis of acts of consumption and the display and use of consumer goods. Together, these studies provide insights into the specific culture of one plantation and the broader culture of which it was a part during the century that stretched from the eve of the American Revolution to the Civil War. proof Today Poplar Forest is a National Historic Landmark, owned and adminis- tered since 1984 by the Corporation for Jefferson’s Poplar Forest, a nonprofit pri- vate preservation organization. Dedicated to preserving, restoring, researching, and interpreting the period from 1806 to 1823, when Thomas Jefferson owned the property and used it as a private retreat and profitable plantation, the ad- ministrators of this site attribute its significance to its association with this im- portant figure in American history. However, Jefferson’s postretirement use of Poplar Forest is just one part of a multifaceted story that spans thousands of years. While we focus on the property’s historic plantation past in this volume, archaeology has demonstrated that native people used this landscape as early as the Paleo-Indian period and as recently as the Late Woodland (Adams 2008).

An Analysis of Techniques Used to Manage Historic Open Spaces on Two Suburban American University Campuses Abstract As more and more Americans are attending higher educational institutions, the built environment of these places is becoming relevant to a larger number of people. To many graduates familiar with a university, its ensemble of buildings and spaces have the ability to stir up a sense of personal meaning associated with a past era in their life. It is important to preserve these campuses, by maintaining resources that already exist and protecting them from inappropriate change that would diminish their integrity. The physical environment of a university is often an icon of the school. The school's community as well as the public associates the architecture and landscape of a school as part of its identity.

  • Pavilion Vii
    PAVILION VII HISTORY AUTHORIZATION AND NEGOTIATION FOR CONSTRUCTING PAVILION VII he germ of the plan of Pavilion VII can be detected in a letter Jefferson wrote to Virginia Legislator Littleton Waller Tazewell on January 5, 1805, from the Presi- T dent's House in Washington 1. In his letter, which was in response to an inquiry concerning a proposal for a university that Tazewell wished to submit to the General As- sembly, Jefferson wrote: Large houses are always ugly, inconvenient, exposed to the accident of fire, and bad in case of infection. A plain small house for the school & lodging of each professor is best, these connected by covered ways out of which the rooms of the students should open. These may then be built only as they shall be wanting. In fact a university should not be a house but a village. 2 Nothing came of Tazewell's proposal, but five years later Jefferson had the occa- sion to refine his ideas when he responded to another inquiry, this time from Hugh White, a trustee of the East Tennessee College: I consider the common plan followed in this country of making one large and expensive building, as unfortunately erroneous. It is infinitely better to erect a small and separate lodge for each separate professorship, with only a hall below for his class, and two chambers above for himself; joining these lodges by bar- racks for a certain portion of the students, opening into a covered way to give a dry communication between all the schools. The whole of these arranged around an open square of grass and trees, would make it, what it should be in fact, an academical village.
