This month, I have an article in Landscape Architecture Magazine with Elizabeth Umbanhowar about the recent renovation of Occidental Park in Seattle. It’s a pretty interesting story and draws out, in specifics, some themes that have been rattling through the profession about public versus private space, the commoditization of parks, and the general undervaluing of landscape as art/cultural expression. (All of which are the reasons that I’m involved in The Cultural Landscape Foundation and helped write the landmark nomination for this).
If you have a chance, drop me a line and let me know what you think.
