\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 November 9, 2015 — The next speaker in the 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s 2015-16 Landscape Architecture Lecture Series will be Kim Mathews, founding principal in the firm Mathews Nielsen, who will speak on \u201cContemporary Landscape Practice: Transformation Through Design.\u201d <\/p>\n


\nShe will focus on waterfront design in both urban and cultural landscapes and talk about the culture of her 32-person firm, especially how the designers work together and what they value. <\/p>\n


\nHer presentation will begin at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 19 in Weaver Auditorium in the Coastal Institute building on 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Kingston campus. The event is free and open to the public.<\/p>\n


\n\tMathews, the past-president of the New York State Council of Landscape Architects, is the recipient of more than two dozen design awards for such projects as the West Point Foundry Preserve, Governors Island Park and Public Spaces, and Buffalo\u2019s Erie Canal Harbor project. Her work was recently featured prominently in Landscape Architecture magazine and in Architecture News. <\/p>\n


\nShe says that many of her firm\u2019s award-winning projects are what she calls Cinderella projects. \u201cThey are stories of perseverance, adaptation, and sometimes just plain good luck,\u201d Mathews said. \u201cThey are landscapes that have been working all their life, often forgotten or out of view of the general public, but given the opportunity to be re-imagined.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tOther speakers in the series include 溏心vlog免费B站 alumni Erin Muir of The Figure Ground Studio and Nicholas Healy of the CRJA\/IBI Group, on \u201cCovering Ground from Portland to Abu Dhabi: Young Practitioners Reflect on Water, Resilience and Design,\u201d (Dec. 3); Toby Wolf, principal of Wolf Landscape Architecture, on \u201cJust Enough Wildness: Designing Places that Connect People with the Natural World,\u201d (Mar. 3); Chris Reed of STOSS Landscape Urbanism, on a topic to be determined, (Mar. 31); Emily McCoy of Andropogon Associates, on \u201cCraft, Research and Practice: Performance-Based Design in Landscape Architecture,\u201d (Apr. 14); and Catherine Seavitt, principal of the Catherine Seavitt Studio, on \u201cShifting Sands: Sedimentary cycles for Jamaica Bay,\u201d (Apr. 28).<\/p>\n


\nAll talks are free, open to the public and begin at 7 p.m. in Weaver Auditorium of the 溏心vlog免费B站 Coastal Institute in Kingston.<\/p>\n
